I read the first book in this series at the end of 2017 and then left it on the backburner because I was already engaged in this author's Molly Murphy series. Well Molly has become a bit morose and her relationship with Daniel is going nowhere fast so I am giving that a breather for while..In the meantime Lady Georgiana is much better entertainment. She is funny and her actions are a lot more light hearted than poor Molly's. I also enjoy her supporting characters more, especially her crazy mothe...

synopsis from GoodreadsIt's 1930s London, and Lady Georgiana -- thirty-fourth in line to the throne -- has a lot on her plate, but little in her cupboards, in this national bestseller...Baked beans and boiled eggs. That's what my houseguest, the Bavarian princess, will have to eat if I don't get help posthaste. The Queen of England has requested I entertain said princess, placing her in the playboy prince's path, in hopes he might finally marry.But queens never consider money, of which I have li...

I wasn't very interested in the communist aspect of this mystery but I really enjoyed the Princess (sometimes) and the house parties. Darcy and Belinda should've been in here more but it's okay, I know I'll see them plenty in future books. Yet more parties that I enjoyed, plus the added royals and Mrs. Simpson.

Another fun cosy mystery with the penniless Lady Georgiana (Great Granddaughter of Queen Victoria & 34th in line to the throne)In this instalment, Georgie has been asked by the Queen to entertain a visiting foreign Princess, who the Queen hopes will catch the eye of the Prince of Wales and turn him away from “that dreadful Simpson woman”. But things are never simple & before long there are dead bodies, communists & shoplifting to deal with all while attending Royal Functions, Parties...

A fun vacation read. I enjoyed the antics in this book.
Lady Georgie is 34th in line for the throne, but penniless and living in London without an allowance.
In this story, she does some maturing in terms of seeing people as equals.
As in the first book, the mystery is a small part of the story. This series is a fun, light, fluffy look at social status and society.....with a few dead bodies and mystery sprinkled throughout.
A fun read.

What a hysterical and riotous treat this series is turning out to be. Had P. G. Wodehouse ever written mysteries - I can see them having felt like this.

Review written May 26, 20164.3 Stars - Simply wonderfully cozy 9 hrs mystery fun Book #2My latest reading passion (started last fall) are all these lighthearted cozy mysteri novels. A genre even better as audiobooks. I really liked the serial starter, Her Royal Spyness (4.2), back in January. It was with a good feeling I started this second part.London June, 1934So much fun to once again meet the Queen's amateur spy. Lady Georgie (aka Lady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie Rannoch, cousin of ...

1.5 starsOnce again I expected more, and once again I find myself dissatisfied. It takes forever for the 'mystery' to begin in full force. Georgie is repetitive, whiny, and incredibly dense. Like the first book, she doesn't really solve anything but gets thrown into the answer by the villain's actions - always conveniently at the right time/place. On top of that, the writing was jarring. The choice of words from characters, the incredible articulation of anti-communist proponents, and all the 'h...
