Story5 out of 5 stars 6
Nash Rankin is a disgraced cop trying to escape his past—his career was destroyed when he chose to take justice into his own hands. Now he's living a quiet life in a small town caring for the local wildlife and trying to stay away from trouble. Jesse Redpath has a new job in a new town, Satellite—the stormy weather that greets her first few days on the new beat seems like a sign for what's to come. A local has died in what seems like an accident, but Jessie isn't so sure that ‘accident' wasn't planned. All evidence seems to point to Nash, but Jesse's not sure about that either.

Publisher's Summary
Rowland Sinclair is an artist and a gentleman.
In Australia's 1930s, the Sinclair name is respectable and influential, yet Rowland has a talent for scandal. He relies on the Sinclair fortune to indulge his artistic passions and friends: a poet, a painter and a brazen sculptress.
Mounting tensions fuelled by the Great Depression take Australia to the brink of revolution, but Rowland Sinclair is indifferent to the politics...until a brutal murder exposes an extraordinary and treasonous conspiracy.

So glad to discover this series.
Rupert Degas leads us onto the fascinating world of Sydney post the Great War. This brilliant narrator brings Gentill's characters to life.
I am now hooked.

Entertaining & great to listen to
I really enjoyed listening to this book as the characters were all interesting. The narrator, Rupert Degas, was very well chosen. He has the most pleasant voice plus very good at changing his voice for the varying characters and their ages.
Despite me thinking the author quite talented and deciding I’d like to listen to more of this Series, like others, I found the politics in the story, a bit boring.
I’m hoping her next in the Series is a more enjoyable story.

The narrator really made this one
The narrator's many accents and voices really immersed me in the story. Terrific job!
Admittedly, knowing almost nothing about Australian history, I enjoyed learning about 1930s NSW as well as the development of the plot. It's an easy going plot, with nothing too mind boggling and the Aussie sense of humour comes through well.

Quintessential Australian
A dry martini with a twist of adventure.
Gripping, beautifully written, and deeply-researched this historical crime fiction series is set in the early 1930s and based on extraordinary yet real events. Introducing Rowland Sinclair.
Rowland Sinclair is an artist and a gentleman. In Australia's 1930s, the Sinclair name is respectable and influential, yet the youngest son Rowland - an artist - has a talent for scandal.
Based loosely on the events of 1932. A Few Right Thinking Men is a fascinating novel that I would not normally read but am glad I did.
A fascinating look at Mounting tensions fuelled by the Great Depression that took Australia to the brink of a revolution that was embroiling the world at that time. The New Guard, Old Guard, and the Communists. Viewed through a wealthy young gentleman that reflected the young lions of the day.
Rupert Degas, narration gave the book its authenticity and enhanced the Australian Dry wit and character development. Rupert Degas was the perfect choice for the novel and I am pleased that Rupert Degas has lent his talents to more of the series.
Quintessential Dry Australian humour "Who Done It".
I am now on book two, A Decline in Prophets, and loving it.
Recommended.

Riverting Story with historical context
What did you like most about A Few Right Thinking Men?
I enjoyed to links to history and the underlying humor and charter development, the attention to subtle details and the great pace of the book, I normally like pretty action based novels and despite the time taken to develop the plot and characters the pace felt right and held my attention throughout the story - nicely written.
What other book might you compare A Few Right Thinking Men to, and why?
Tough one for me - possibly Tobruk by Peter FitzSimons meets Agatha Christie meets Rear Window (the movie by Alfred Hitchcock which I adore)
What about Rupert Degas’s performance did you like?
I always love Ruperts performances and seek out his narrations and on this occasion found him to be at his absolute best.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
The book title would be fine.
Any additional comments?
Great writing and excellent narration - well done! Also being an Australian I especially enjoyed the humor and social observations.
