Her Royal Spyness

Queen Victoria's great-granddaughter's adventures in 1930s England.

They say her grandmother was Victoria's least favorite daughter (, who married a Scottish nobleman, and their son married first a noblewoman, who died after giving birth to the heir, and Georgiana's brother, and then he married an actress, Georgiana's mother. I like the mother character :-D Even though she isn't especially motherly.
Georgiana is a lady and a second cousin of the crown prince (who would become Edward VIII and abdicate to marry Wallis Simpson).

This is a murder mystery. I have to say I guessed the murderer and the motive pretty quickly, but there were still some twists and secrets that I didn't guess.

She's spying for the queen. (Not Victoria, queen Mary, George V's wife)

Short Review: a funny cozy mystery that makes me think of the Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries written by Dorothy Sayers. In part because of the clear homage (a body turns up in the bathtub as in the first of the Wimsey mysteries) but also because they are set at about the same time and both have ameture sluthes. But as much as I enjoyed the book, her detective skills were more about being at the right place at the right time than actually solving anything.

I did like it enough to immediately pick up the next book in the series. The audiobook was very well done.
