Synopsis: Georgie is back and
hanging the stockings with care when a murder interrupts her Christmas
cheer in this all-new installment in the New York Times bestselling
Royal Spyness series from Rhys Bowen.
Georgie is excited for her
first Christmas as a married woman in her lovely new home. She suggests
to her dashing husband, Darcy, that they have a little house party, but
when Darcy receives a letter from his aunt Ermintrude, there is an
abrupt change in plans. She has moved to a house on the edge of the
Sandringham estate, near the royal family, and wants to invite Darcy and
his new bride for Christmas. Aunt Ermintrude hints that the queen would
like Georgie nearby. Georgie had not known that Aunt Ermintrude was a
former lady-in-waiting and close confidante of her royal highness. The
letter is therefore almost a royal request, so Georgie, Darcy, and their
Christmas guests: Mummy, Grandad, Fig, and Binky all head to
Sandringham.
Georgie soon learns that the notorious Mrs. Simpson,
mistress to the Prince of Wales, will also be in attendance. It is now
crystal clear to Georgie that the Queen expects her to do a bit of
spying. There is tension in the air from the get-go, and when Georgie
pays a visit to the queen, she learns that there is more to her request
than just some simple eavesdropping. There have been a couple of strange
accidents at the estate recently. Two gentlemen of the royal household
have died in mysterious circumstances and another has been shot by
mistake during a hunt. Georgie begins to suspect that a member of the
royal family is the real target but her investigation will put her new
husband and love of her life, Darcy, in the crosshairs of a killer. (Synopsis from Goodreads)
My Thoughts: I really enjoy this fun and cozy mystery series, so I was very excited to check out the latest installment. I was not disappointed in this addition to the series.
I really like following Georgie, seeing her solve mysteries, and seeing where life takes her. Rhys Bowen has given Georgie such a fun voice, and I'm always happy to see her on the page. I think the mysteries that come Georgie's way are entertaining, and of course, dangerous.
I also really like the Royal aspect of it. Georgie is distant in line for the throne, and the Queen always has a job for her to do.
I also really liked how this was set at Christmas time. That's fun.
The mystery was intriguing and I liked seeing Georgie solve it. I also am so happy that Georgie and Darcy are newly married. Just too cute.
This is a really fun series that I'd definitely recommend starting. I love that there are so many books, because it means I get to spend a lot of time and grow with these characters. If you like cozy mysteries, definitely check this out.
