'Naughty In Nice' sees Georgie on another covert mission for the Queen, this time retrieving a small piece of art that no one wants to admit was lifted by a guest at Buckingham Palace. The mission takes Georgie to winter on the Riveria, where England's wealthiest escape the English weather and the d...
The author starts this instalment with an apology in advance; the book is set in Africa - Kenya - during the late 20's/early 30's, a time when race relations and the views of the British Empire (as were the rest of the world) were shameful. This had me braced for difficult reading, but I have to s...
The "Her Royal Spyness" series has become one of my go-to comfort reads when I need something light but not fluffy that I know will have enough of a mystery to keep me curious and more than a few scenes that will make me laugh. I've also grown attached to all the characters, and yes, it is a stret...
Entertaining cosy mystery set mostly in New York City at the start of the twentieth century. An odd mix of optimism, romanticising of the Irish and harsh historical detail. Six years before Rhys Bowen published the first book of the "Her Royal Spyness" series, she gave us "Murphy's Law" the firs...
This series keeps getting better and better. Rhys Bowen manages to keep the tone light and humour flowing while still delivering an interesting murder mystery with a surprisingly high body count, folding in credible historical details and developing the main character and the ensemble cast around he...
"A Royal Pain" follows on from the first book in the series "Her Royal Spyness" but gets even better, with a stronger plot and a wider cast of characters. It's still 1932 and Lady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie (Georgie to her friends), a minor Royal, cousin of King George V of England, and ...
Strong start to an original and fun mystery series with a young, penniless daughter of a Duke as the reluctant sleuth. I started this series at book six, "The Twelve Clues Of Christmas" which was such a splendid Christmas Cozy Mystery that I decided to go back to the beginning and read all the ...
Door 17: Winter Solstice Book: Read a book that takes place in December, with ice or snow on the cover "The Twelve Clues Of Christmas" is a Christmas Cracker of a book where the prize is solving an ingenious set of Christmas-themed murders, the wrapping is a colourful evocation of a 1935 En...
This series is always enjoyable, even when the plots aren't as good as they could be. Luckily, even though the title is really a stretch, the plot of this one isn't. I can imagine how it might have happened back in the day of the aristocracy owning multiple estates they often didn't visit for long...
3.5 stars What a hoot of a story. Georgie is getting married to Darcy and neither of them has much money. When she is offered the chance to live at a grand estate she jumps at the chance. Little does she know what she is moving into. The beginning of the book moved a little slow. I wasn’t sure where...
