About this listen

Alec is back!

Summer 1764. Alec and Selina anxiously await the birth of their first child at their estate in Kent. It should be a time of family celebration, but the death of a young poacher has Alec investigating murder. And when renovations to his sprawling manor unearth a secret burial chamber, a shocking family secret comes to light. Everything Alec thought he knew about his birth is again called into question, and with it the special bond with his irascible uncle Plantagenet.

Let me start by saying that Lucinda Brant is one of my all-time favourite authors, so my review is somewhat bias but appropriately so, as all her Georgian historical novels are outstanding.

The Alec Halsey Mystery series of novels are splendid, Deadly Kin being the 4th in the series. The book would read well on its own, but I think if you are new to her Halsey series, my advice would be to start with the first book and work your way through each one, a joy in itself. Lucky you!

Deadly Kin picks up Alec's life in the Kent countryside, as he inherits a monolith of an estate, complete with its local Kentish tenants and staff that have many dark secrets. Into the mix is of course a death or two and our intrepid hero applies his usual sophistication and skill to sort the wheat from the chaff, in order to solve the mystery. Along with his delightful uncle Plantagenet, Aunt Olivia, Selena, Tam, Haden Jefferies, and a slew of other fascinating characters, this book is an absolute delight.

Lucinda Brant always writes with such elegance, her main character Alec is by profession a Diplomat, and his personality & background are beautifully drawn. As well as a fascinating tale, this book also answers a few questions and ties up some loose ends from the previous books in the series.

I don't want to write too much detail as to spoil the story for you, but just to say that if you like historical accuracy in your stories, a bucketful of style & sophistication, a fascinating mystery set in Kent and a little more knowledge than when you started, then this is absolutely the book for you. Enjoy, you have a huge treat ahead,

4th book in a superb series

An excellent mystery, slightly darker than I was expecting but an excellent read none the less. There were quite a few sweet and emotional scenes as the couple await the arrival of their first baby. Alec's family history added emotion and poignancy.
The new narrator had big boots to fill but he did a sterling job.

I voluntarily reviewed a review copy.

Superb

I'm a period romance reader and previously ignored any other genre . However, I'm a big Lucinda Brant fan and thought her Salt series quite dark in places and I enjoyed them and so I thought I would give this series a go. I was not disappointed but really pleased to find as much humour in these books as her romantic Roxton Series. I burst out laughing over the orange peel up the nose. A SPOILER I know but wrote it on purpose to encourage other readers to read this book and look out for it! This is a new narrator for her books and I found the narration to be excellent as to be fair I did with her other books. I would be honoured to recommend this book to anyone who enjoys good writing you will not be disappointed .





Another great novel

As a big Lucinda Brant fan, this 4th book in the Alec Halsey series didn’t disappoint and had me riveted from the start.
Matthew Lloyd Davies takes over as narrator and does a fabulous job in bringing the characters to life.
Heartily recommend this book and the entire series so far. So pleased to hear it’s not the end and another book is in the pipe line.

Lucinda Brant strikes gold yet again!
