When royal sleuth Georgie Rannoch receives a letter from her dearest friend Belinda, who's in an Italian villa awaiting the birth of her illegitimate baby, she yearns to run to her side. If only she could find a way to get there! But then opportunity presents itself in a most unexpected way - her cousin the queen asks her 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, even if it is under the guise of stopping unwanted nuptials. Only that's as far as Georgie's fortune takes her. She soon discovers that she attended finishing school with the hostess of the party - and the hatred they had for each other then has barely dimmed. Plus, she needs to hide Belinda's delicate condition from the other guests. And her dashing beau, Darcy is (naturally) working undercover on a dangerous mission. Then her actress mother shows
Reviews with the most likes.
Despite somehow having managed to read the first book and now the latest book in this series, I'm loving it. Bowen paints a lovely (and fairly realistic) picture of the time period and I am enjoying seeing Georgie become more self-assured and confident in her abilities. The portrayal of the Crown Prince and the horrid Mrs. Simpson was fantastic and I very much enjoyed meeting the new characters. I also am looking forward to seeing her relationship with Darcy progress. I can't wait for the next book (while I go back and play catch up with the series!).
