About this listen

London 1816: After rescuing a lovely woman from an attempted robbery, Captain Lacey discovers that she is the widow of a colonel who'd been accused of murdering an English officer during the Peninsular War. Lydia declares that her husband was innocent and that she knows the true culprits' identities. Intrigued, Lacey, along with his friend, Lucius Grenville, begins to investigate. He soon finds himself mired in scandals of the past and surrounded by murders that are very much in the present. Book 2 of the Captain Lacey Regency Mysteries.

Poor Captain Lacey was born over one hundred years too early to be diagnosed with PTSD and so he has to cope as best he can: severe bouts of melancholia and uncontrollable rages. Luckily, he can usually control the rages before he tips the scales to turn himself into one of the unsavoury or truly villainous individuals that he investigates and hunts down after they have injured someone he has come to care about.

These stories are very involved with myriad characters, and it is essential that you remain alert to keep everyone and their deeds straight in your mind. Therefore, do not listen to these stories with the sleep timer on because you will find that you have to go back to the place and the happenings that you were last alert enough to take on board!

James Gillies’ narration brings the characters to life, his accents, be they the roughest cockney or the crème de la crème of the haute ton, are superb.

London in the early 19th century is bought to fascinating life by Ashley Gardner...the Capt Lacey Regency mysteries are definitely worth purchasing if you are a lover of historical and crime/mystery novels.

Highly recommend.

#2 in wonderful series. 👍
