Autumn 1763. Career diplomat Alec Halsey has been elevated to a marquessate he doesn't want and Polite Society believes he doesn't deserve. And with the suspicion he murdered his brother still lingering in London drawing rooms, returning to London after seven months in seclusion might well be a mistake. So when a nobody vicar drops dead beside him at a party-political dinner, and his rabble-rousing uncle Plantagenet is bashed and left for dead in a laneway, Alec’s foreboding deepens. Uncovering the vicar's true identity, Alec suspects the man was poisoned. But who would want a seemingly harmless man of God murdered, and why?
Lucinda Brant’s Alec Halsey mysteries explore the darker side of her deliciously romantic 18th century world. Along with trademark wit and high drama there are deeper subplots and even quirkier characters that will have you shuddering and laughing in equal measure!

Reviews
"Lucinda Brant is the queen of Georgian Historical Mystery just as Georgette Heyer was the queen of Regency Romance. What these two authors have in common, besides being superb writers, is their ability to weave historical information into the plot so that the reader is transported effortlessly to another time and place. Lucinda Brant gets 5 stars from me, and I can't wait to read the other books in the Alec Halsey series!” — Anne Boling, Readers’ Favorite
“Lucinda Brant has a beautiful writing style and a careful grasp on the social mores, political environment and tangled affairs of the aristocracy of Georgian England. Her characterizations are layered and complex. The mystery is intricately woven into an absorbing plot. Lucinda Brant is a gifted writer and Deadly Affair is highly and enthusiastically recommended for lovers of historical mysteries! " — Jill MacKenzie, InD'Tale magazine

15 of 17 people found the following review helpful. ????!!!! By RuthO I read the stellar reviews for this novel and doubted I was reading the same book. While Ms. Brant constructs an interesting plot, her methods for telling it bored me to tears. No character can ever simply get to the point. Every time information is imparted from one person to another, they take a long verbal meander before spilling the beans. Not just one character does this, but all of them, regardless of the importance of the information or how dire the circumstances. And the redundancy! Apparently Ms. Brant does not trust her readers to remember what happened from one sentence to another, let alone one chapter to the next. The constant retelling of scenes and plot points had me skipping through page after page after page, just hoping to find something that moved the plot along. The thin plot was also muddied with long, detailed trivia. I appreciate the depth of research the author did, but I did not need two pages to describe every item Lord Halsey packed in his traveling toiletries case.I quote from this book, "Sir Septimus's note was long-winded and full of verbose rhetoric." That is precisely how I would describe "Deadly Affair."I'm only halfway through and I'm so tired of searching for something that furthers the plot that I no longer care who did what to whom. I think Ms. Brant has a great deal of potential, but she needs an editor with a big red pen to cross out the redundancy and and a requirement to keep the story moving.
13 of 15 people found the following review helpful. wonderful mystery By DolphinChick 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!!
7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Smooth... By P. J. B. 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.
