In 1932, when Her Royal Spyness begins, Lady Georgiana is living in Scotland. Thirty-fourth in line to the throne, she is the younger half-sister of the current duke of Rannoch. Unfortunately, title and wealth do not go hand in hand. In fact, she and her immediate family are quite poor, due largely to their late father’s debts and the great crash of '29. However, she decides to head to London and start fresh, but finding work is nearly impossible. Many people are struggling during this time, and being a member of the royal family comes with its own challenges, especially when looking for a job. She is fortunate that her family has a home in London where she can stay. One day, a Frenchman comes to her door stating that Lady Georgiana’s late father lost her family’s estate in a card game to him. Her brother comes down to London, and while the two see their solicitors, the only news they get is bad. Later, Georgiana comes home and finds the Frenchman dead. Suspicion immediately falls on her and her brother. Georgiana must investigate and discover the real killer before she or her brother are accused of his murder.
Her Royal Spyness is an enjoyable series launch with wonderful characters and appearances by real historical figures, like Queen Mary. Great for fans of historical fiction and cozy mysteries.
