Loading... Royal Flushby Rhys Bowen
Once I got to a certain point, I had to keep reading. I am really enjoying how the royal family is woven into the plot, and the fictional parts where Wallis Simpson dialogs with Georgie or Georgie's mother are some of my favorites. (  ) sriemann | Mar 30, 2013 |  When Georgiana tries to make money by being an “escort” to wealthy travelers, she finds herself whisked back to her ancestral home and recruited to ensure the safety of the royal family which has suffered a remarkable number of accidents including her own brother, Binky, whose foot was wounded in an animal trap. While at Rannoch, Georgiana finds herself increasingly in danger as bodies pile up. Her only hope is that her grandfather, come to visit for a spell, and the ever dashing Darcy can help her solve the mystery before it is too late. (  ) 4leschats | Feb 13, 2013 | I wouldn't call Binky spineless, but he is a bit of a softy. This time Georgie is back at Castle Rannoch in Scotland where she is in the middle of what seems to be a series of mishaps or assassination attempts upon the Royal family. Georgie's "is he or is he not" boyfriend Darcy turns up as well, and the unusual turn of events of having to deal with the "delightful" Mrs. Simpson and her American friends makes Fig and Georgie allies as Fig worries they'll be eaten out of house and home, not to mention the wear and tear on the hot water heater from all the American's baths! This wasn't quite as funny as the last one, but I still love this series! (Georgie's date with her new escort service in London was priceless!) As usual, Katherine Kellgren was great with the narration - I love Georgie's mother the best in this one, and everyone's phrase, "Old Bean." ( ) ktleyed | Feb 4, 2013 | This book got off to a humorous start, with Georgie's naivete again getting her into trouble. The author portrayed an interesting picture of England in the 1930's. I would have appreciated a family tree for the royals, as this would have clarified the family relationships. I became somewhat bored with the entire plot about 3/4 through the book, but persevered to the end. The characters got to be annoying at times, but overall it is a fun read. Georgie and Darcy need to get on with it already. ( ) LadyoftheLodge | Jul 26, 2012 | This third installment in Rhys Bowen’s historical A Royal Spyness series is as charming as the rest. Lady Georgiana, a relation of the royals, heads to her family estate and country home, Castle Rannoch, at the urging of Scotland Yard to search for an assassin bent on eliminating members of the royal family. Accidents abound as the mystery deepens and a house party of guests contribute to the confusion. One of these eccentric characters may be a murderer and responsible for the mishap in the woods that nearly cost Georgiana’s brother his foot. When one guest ends up shot to death during a hunt, it doesn’t appear to be an accident at all. Will Georgiana learn everyone’s secrets and unmask the killer before she’s next on his hit list? This historical cozy mystery is a delightful addition to Bowen's entertaining series. (  ) NancyJCohen | Jul 23, 2011 | no reviews | add a review
