Publisher's summary

The national best-selling author of Royal Blood whisks her heroine away to the French Riviera for fun-and danger.

Lady Georgiana Rannoch has once again been called into service by Her Majesty the Queen. This time she's sent to Nice on a secret assignment that's nothing to sneeze at: recover the Queen's stolen snuff box.

As much of an honor as it is to be trusted by Her Majesty, an even greater honor awaits Georgie in Nice - as Coco Chanel herself asks Georgie to model her latest fashion. But when a necklace belonging to the Queen is stolen on the catwalk, Georgie has to find two priceless items - and solve a murder. How's a girl to find any time to go to the casino?

Critic reviews

“Katherine Kellgren's performance encompasses an astonishing range of personalities while remaining true to her impoverished sleuth's impeccable enunciation…Kellgren, undaunted by the burgeoning cast of characters, supplies plenty of distinctive accents and jaunty tones. The delighted listener wants the story to go on and on.” ( Audiofile)
"Fans of Peter Lovesey''s hilarious books transforming the future Edward VII into an unlikely sleuth will relish Bowen''s whimsical fifth Royal Spyness mystery starring Lady Georgiana Rannoch, 34th in line to the British thrown (after 2010''s Royal Blood). Bowen successfully melds a whodunit with comedy as few contemporary writers can." ( Publishers Weekly, starred review)
"The best part of this delicious series is the cast of characters (well known and otherwise), led, of course, by the level-headed and stiff- upper-lipped Georgiana, who tackles whatever is in front of her, be it murder or romance, with uncommon relish. A royal romp." ( Booklist)

Delightful

You mean I have to wait until WHEN???!!! for the next "Her Royal Spyness" story. I think I read on Rhys Bowen's blog that I will be waiting until 12/2012. These stories are well worth the time and effort. A delightful series. Katherine Kellgren is superb.

Much better than the last one

The story here is much better than Royal Blood (I had feared early shark jumping), and Georgie finally started piecing things together herself, rather than relying on those around her, which was a nice turn. Kellgren was brilliant again, and I wonder if I would enjoy these stories as much if I were reading them. I tend to think not.

Jewels and Pools in France

This series is one of my favorites, it is always entertaining, humorous and creative. In this addition Georgiana is off to Nice with the hope of inter-mingling with the notorious, young, European jet setters. Her main adjective is to retrieve a snuff box that was taken from a gathering hosted by The Royals. It must be a clandestine operation because it would not be appropriate to implicate any of the attendees, however, the Queen is quite certain she knows who the culprit is.

Georgiana's adventure takes her on quite a ride surrounded by the privileged and all the regular eclectic characters of the series. Her romantic life becomes highly tumultuous and as always the story is laugh out loud funny.

These are wonderful, feel good cozy's that include historical incidents and characters that collide with Georgiana's erratic kookie life. Katherine Kellgren does a great job narrating and is the perfect voice for Georgiana.

Best Book Series EVER!!

I absolutely adore the royal spy Ness series. It keeps me enthralled from the first moment to the last. I still don't know how Kellegren can keep all the voices straight, but she surely makes the book come to life. Thank you both!!

One of the best in the series so far!

Mystery, action, romance, and comedic relief in equal measures. Katherine Kellgren ' s narration also imparts such personality into each character, but especially Georgie. A definite joy!
