Lady Georgiana āGeorgieā Rannoch is just like any other new mother, balancing responsibilities of being 34th in line for the British throne and solving the shocking deaths of several young men, in this new Royal Spyness novel from the queen of historical mystery, Rhys Bowen.
Georgie may be figuring out what it means to be a new mother but she does know one thing for sure: she absolutely despises the strict nanny who was foisted upon her by her meddlesome sister-in-law. In search of a new nanny, Georgie travels to London to see her old friend ZouZou only to find her about to depart for a funeral, after the unexpected death of a young man in her social circle. It quickly becomes clear thereās more than one mysterious death around town, when another friend reveals heās also just returned from the funeral of a school friend, who seemingly died in a boating accident. But when word arrives that the son of family friend has also died tragically and unexpectedly, Georgie is certain it canāt be a coincidence. Yet the victims donāt seem to have any connection to one another.
ZouZou shares Georgieās suspicions that the deaths were not an accident and begs Georgie to solve the case. As Georgie delves deeper, she canāt help worrying that her own husband, Darcy, may be next. It seems likely there is a serial killer at work and Darcy fits the bill to be their next victim. Will Georgie solve the murders before itās too late for Darcy, and manage to find the perfect nanny all at the same time?
