About this listen

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.

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.

Entertaining & great to listen to

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.

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.

The narrator really made this one
