A Royal Spyness mystery starring Lady Georgiana, thirty-fourth in line for the throne—and the mystery world’s favorite penniless heiress. With its posh clientele in the country for the summer, Georgie’s housecleaning business has fizzled. So she tries hiring herself out as a dinnerand- theatre companion. But her first client has quite the wrong idea. To avoid further scandal, Georgie’s shipped home to Castle Rannoch, where her summer plans include honoring a promise to Her Majesty to keep Castle Rannoch’s divorcee houseguest from seducing the Prince of Wales. She’s also been coerced into helping Scotland Yard with a top-secret mission—namely keeping an eye on the shooting party at Balmoral and preventing someone from shooting the Prince. And Georgie must manage all this without strangling her odious sister-in-law Fig or spineless brother Binky.

Just couldn't work up any enthusiasm for this book. I read the first book or two in this series prior to reading the Maisie Dobbs series. Having read seven Maisie books that occur in roughly the same time period, I found this book lacking substance, depth and character development. The protagonist is a bit of a flake, to be honest. I just didn't get into the book.
Short Review: Third book of the Royal Spyness series. These first three books have been enjoyable, light, funny with a slight romantic hint. But the story line I think has played out. I have not read more yet, but if there is not a good twist in the next book the rest of the series will be disappointing. The plot, someone is trying to kill off members of the royal line, and probably from within the royal line, was fine. The villain was clear from relatively early (and I am not someone that predicts the end of books early.) I have listened to all three on audiobook so far and the narration is very good and probably a lot of what has made the series enjoyable.
