Her Royal Spyness by Rhys BowenMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Lady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie, also known as Georgie, is the cousin of King George V of England and 34th in line for the throne. Without any marriage prospects after her coming out season, her brother has cut off her allowance. She moves from Castle Raddoch in Scotland to Raddoch House in London in order to find a job and make some money.
Georgie is without a maid to assist her with the day-to-day royal activities, but is resourceful and creates a job for herself. She runs into her best friend from finishing school who helps her out, and meets several young eligible men in the process. A mystery (and hilarity) ensues when she finds a man dead in her bathtub. Multiple attempts are made on her life, but being Georgie, she just thinks that she is clumsy. After several twists and turns, everything turns out fine in the end which is good because there are quite a few more books written in this series!
Georgie and friends are fun characters and bring a lot of humor to this book. The reader really gets a feel for life in the early 1930s London, as well as what it's like to be a 'royal.' There's high society, fashion, food, and fun in this quick and enjoyable read. I will definitely be reading more in this series in the future.
