Very well written, fast paced, and full of secrets... A cracking good adventure! -- Historical Novel Society
The story arc of this boxed set spans three full-length novels set in the aristocratic world of the 1760's, featuring amateur sleuth Alec, Lord Halsey.

In book one, DEADLY ENGAGEMENT, Alec is unwittingly caught up in country house mayhem and murder at his estranged brother's engagement party.

Some months later, in DEADLY AFFAIR, Alec attends a dinner party where a vicar drops dead beside him. Investigating the death of this seemingly harmless man of God, Alec makes a surprising connection to the mysterious Miranda.

In DEADLY PERIL, Alec is lured to Europe to rescue dear friends held to ransom in remote Castle Hertzfeld. In a race against time, Alec journeys across an icy wasteland devastated by civil war to "a gobsmacking finale you'll never see coming".

Lucinda Brant's mysteries explore the darker side of her richly authentic 18th century world. Along with her trademark wit and high drama there are deeper subplots and even quirkier characters that will have you shuddering and laughing in equal measure!

Reviews

I challenge anyone to read DEADLY ENGAGEMENT and not crave more from the handsome Alec Halsey with his high sense of morals, dark good looks, and divine analytical mind. -- Francine Zane, Readers' Favorite 5 STARS

A clever and intriguing mystery which very skillfully pulls together seemingly disparate plot threads to reach a thoroughly satisfying conclusion with plot twists I most definitely didn't see coming. I am hooked and eager for more. -- Caz Owens, All About Romance, rated a DESERT ISLE KEEPER

Every one is worthy of five stars, but DEADLY PERIL is possibly the best yet. It is, quite simply, a perfect combination of mystery, romance, and history. -- Lady Wesley, Romantic Historical Reviews 5 STARS
