![]() ![]() Georgie’s father was a rather staid duke, but her mother, an actress, is notorious traipsing across the continent, entering into liaison after liaison (and sometimes marriage) with various wealthy and scandalous men. ![]() ![]() ![]() She has certain privileges as a royal, but she is also dirt poor, and her royal cousins feel perfectly comfortable assigning her less “regular” tasks… and often, while she’s doing these special favors, corpses turn up. Although this means her actual chances of ascending the throne are worse than John Goodman’s was in that 1990s movie King Ralph, Georgie is still frequently on-call for social and magisterial duties, and afforded much scrutiny. Our first-person narrator, Georgiana Rannock, is the daughter of an aristocrat, and about thirty-eighth in line for the throne. The two I’ve read are further into the series. The first book is Her Royal Spyness, and I haven’t read it. There is plenty I like and plenty I don’t like. I’ve now read two from Her Royal Spyness. Rhys Bowen has at least two series going the Molly Murphy series, mysteries set at the turn of the 20th century in New York, and Her Royal Spyness, set in Britain in the 1930s. ![]()
