On Her Majesty's Frightfully Secret Service

A Royal Spyness Mystery, Book 11

De: Rhys Bowen

Narrado por: Katherine Kellgren

In the new Royal Spyness Mystery from the New York Times best-selling author of Crowned and Dangerous, Lady Georgiana Rannoch juggles secret missions from the queen, Darcy, and her mother. But it's all in a day's work when you're 35th in line to the British Crown.

When Darcy runs off on another secret assignment, I am left to figure out how to travel to Italy sans maid and chaperone to help my dear friend Belinda, as she awaits the birth of her baby alone. An opportunity presents itself in a most unexpected way - my cousin the queen is in need of a spy to attend a house party in the Italian lake country. The Prince of Wales and the dreadful Mrs. Simpson have been invited, and Her Majesty is anxious to thwart a possible secret wedding.

What luck! A chance to see Belinda and please the queen as I seek her permission to relinquish my claim to the throne so I can marry Darcy. Only that's as far as my good fortune takes me. I soon discover that Mummy is attending the villa party, and she has her own secret task for me. Then, Darcy shows up and tells me that the fate of a world on the brink of war could very well depend on what I overhear at dinner! I shouldn't be all that surprised when one of my fellow guests is murdered and my Italian holiday becomes a nightmare....

The best female narrator has gone!!!! :(

This book was as fun as the rest of them, but now that Kathrine Kellgren has passed away, I cannot seem to finish the last book in the series! I am just too sad to lose her voice.
If you have not yet listened to her do the Bloody Jack Jamie Fabre series just go buy them now....so great! Pure vocal theatre. She will be sorely missed from afar 😢

Always Enjoyable

I love this series and the narrator really brings it to life. When will the book be available???

Predictable, but enjoyable.

I've listened to the whole series, and I've really enjoyed them. My only complaint is how the author seems to recycle material and overly-introduces returning characters.
But on the whole, this was one of my favorites. As the series gets closer to WWII, the mysteries get more historically involved, and I like that.

Another fun romp

The only thing wrong with the Royal Spyness book is that they end too soon, because I devour them and then have to wait so long for the next one. I just can't get enough of Georgie and Darcy. There were a couple of plot points in this one that were a little obvious, but also others I thought were that turned out not to be. Another great fun Royal spyness romp.

Loved it!

Another fun and entertaining mystery with Lady Georgiana and others. Great story, characters and narration. Looking forward to the next book in the series...I have listened to all of them 😊
