Deadly Kin
Alec Halsey Mystery, Book 4

by Lucinda Brant

Discoveries and Murder!

Deadly Kin written by Lucinda Brant is a mystery laden with mystery and intrigue.  Alec and Selina are expecting their first child.  Alec is renovating their Kent estate when not only is a secret vault discovered but information on Alec’s heritage and relationship with his uncle Plantagenet is being revealed little by little.   If this is not mystery enough, a young poacher is found brutally murdered while hunting.  Historically, this seems to be a very accurate record reflecting this time period especially regarding relationships, position, and societal thoughts.   

Brant builds each character with a depth that captures their role and position in life.  Further, she creates intriguing actions and situations that both charm and challenge the listener to solve the mystery.  I have not had the pleasure of hearing the other books in the series but found that this one could be enjoyed as a standalone. 

The narrator, Matthew Lloyd Davies gives a stunning performance.  With his voice, he can move the story along at a steady pace, give distinct voices to each character, and maintain a pleasant and charming tone throughout the book.  He keeps the dialog realistic as well through his inflection. 

There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook.
