Brant doesn't disappoint with this second in the Alec Halsey novels. Her settings are gloriously rich and well-researched, the life of the Georgian nobility silkily realised on the page. The story flows at pace with Alec, Tam and Plant alternately holding centre stage. Brant has a particular skill in creating faceted secondary characters and its my hope she writes a book one day about Tam the valet/apothecary's apprentice. Halsey himself has a neat darkness that could be developed further in the future as well. I enjoy Brant's work, a worthy successor to Heyer and a recommended read and five stars.
