Royal Flush by Rhys Bowen

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Lady Georgiana's clients have all fled the city for better weather. To help keep her in tea she decided to hire herself out as a dinner companion & is immediately in over her head. After a narrow escape from a very bad dinner date Georgiana is banished to Scotland and she has a secret assignment. Someone is trying to harm the Royal Family (on vacation in Scotland) and as an insider she is asked to report anything suspicious. Soon there is a series of accident involving Binky, The Prince of Wales and Georgie herself. Now Georgie needs to discover who is behind all these "accidents" before someone gets killed.

Another fun book in the A Royal Spyness Mystery series! Georgie is a great character who takes your mind off the world as you become part of hers.

Now the Queen of England wants her to host a German Princess in the hopes that her playboy son will be interested in her.

Unfortunately Georgie and the Princess find the body of a young member of the Communist party. To avoid an international scandal that could led to another World War Georgie needs to solve the crime, keep the Princess save and keep The King and Queen of England from being assassinated.

Another fun adventure with Georgie! Even though the body count is adding up this is a light hearted fun series that I have really enjoyed reading.

Her Royal Spyness

Her Royal Spyness by Rhys Bowen


My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Lady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie of Glen Garry and Rannoch or Georgie is thirty-fourth in line for the throne. Not that it matters she's still 21 single and broke. Not wanting to marry the foreign prince her family (as in the King and Queen of England) want her to marry Georgie leaves the family home in Scotland and runs away to London. Of course penniless in London is worse than penniless in Scotland. So Georgie does the only thing she can starts a domestic service under a false name. Keeping it a secret from The Family is harder than she thought especially when the Queen calls on Georgie to spy on her son the Prince of Wales. But then a body is found in the tub of her family home implicating her dense but sweet natured brother Binky. Now Georgie needs to solve the murder before her brother is hanged.

Her Royal Spyness is the 1st in the series A Royal Spyness. This was a fun sweet quirky book. As far as I can tell very historically accurate since it takes place in 1931. The banter between Georgie and her friends was delight to read. I have devoured the 1st 3 books in this series in a matter of days. Nothing heavy or intense and I would recommend it to my mom.
