Avis sur le produitHer Royal Spyness by Rhys Bowen (2007, Hardcover)

New Series Romp! HARDCOVER 2007

This book is first in a new series for Rhys Bowen. It is set in 1930's London and our heroine is Georgie, a.k.a. Lady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie, daughter of the Duke of Glen Garry and Rannoch, cousin of King George V, 34th in line for the royal throne! Big title, but no money! Georgie at the moment is penniless and trying her best to survive on her own. She's even learned how to light a fire and boil and egg and she secretly makes money cleaning houses. That is until her Majesty the Queen ask her to spy on her playboy son, who has been seen squiring about an American divorcee.....a Mrs. Simpson. Georgie thinks nothing of it until she finds a dead body in her bathtub. Her poor hapless brother Binky, the current Duke, has been arrested for the murder. Someone is also trying to kill Georgie and after two near misses she realizes she could be the next victim, so this titled blue blood turns into a dame of detection!
Georgie's madcap adventures are a delight and I can't wait for the next installment! Good show!Lire l'avis complet...
