This was my first time reading a Lucinda Brant book and I'm so happy I did!! It is a beautifully written Georgian Historical Mystery. It is the 2nd book in the Alec Hasley mystery series, but I ran across it first. Although I will absolutely be going back and reading the 1st in the series, this book can totally be read as a stand-alone. There's just enough back-story to help you understand what's going on, but not so much you get bogged down by it. There are a lot of characters to sort through, each with their own wonderful personality and possible reasons for murder...but don't worry I won't give that away! You'll want to find out for yourself, trust me!Alec is a great character and everything you want in your hero! He is in love with Selina who has just told him they can't get married but since there has been a murder, his father attacked and a woman hidden away in the country and everyone seems to be involved in one way or another, Alec has no time to find out why she's changed her mind! His father Plantagenet and their valet Tam are wonderful characters also and I look forward to reading more about them.I can't wait for the next book in the series to come out!!
