Synopsis
INTRODUCING "A FEISTY NEW HEROINE" (JACQUELINE WINSPEAR) who's thirty-fourth in line for the throne—and flat broke.
From the Agatha Award-winning author of the Molly Murphy and Constable Evan Evans mysteries!
Lady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie, 34th in line for the throne, is flat broke. She's bolted Scotland, her greedy brother, and her fish-faced betrothed for London. The place where she'll experience freedom, learn life lessons aplenty, do a bit of spying for HRH—oh, and find a dead Frenchman in her tub. Now her new job is to clear her long family name.
Jo Ann Vicarel - Library Journal
Bowen, author of the successful "Molly Murphy" and "Constable Evans" series, turns her attention to 1930s London and Lady Georgiana, great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria and 34th in line to the English throne. Despite their high-class breeding, the Rannoch family is quite broke, and Georgie must make ends meet in London with no money and no staff to take care of her needs. Then someone murders the odious Frenchman who had planned to seize the Rannochs' Scottish estate. Because Lady Georgiana asks questions to save her brother, who is the prime suspect, the killer's attention turns to her. Delightfully naïve, charming, and quite smart, Georgie is a breath of fresh air. Don't miss this delightful cozy series launch. Bowen lives in Northern California. [See Prepub Mystery, LJ3/1/07.]

A Royal Dissapointment!by A-Novel-A-Day---

June 20, 2009: This was my first Rhys Bowen novel to read and I was a bit dissapointed. Nice story idea, but action was dull and other characters were not very convincing. Easy book to put down. Will try the second book and see if its any better. I took a chance and read the first of Ms. Bowen's Molly Murphy Series and it was fantastic. Highly recommend "Murphy's Law". Hopefully Georgianna will get a little more personality and spunk and the "Royal Mystery" series will improve.
