Lädt ... Heirs and Gracesvon Rhys Bowen
   Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  leslie.98 | Jun 27, 2023 |    ) justjukka | May 20, 2023 | 4 Stars Queen Mary requests that Lady Georgiana Rannoch come to the aid of her old friend, the Dowager Duchess of Eynsford. It would seem that the long lost heir to the Dukedom has been found in the Australian outback, and is in dire need of some etiquette training. Unfortunately, the young heir, Jack Altringham, is soon accused of murder when his uncle, the current Duke, is found dead with Jack's knife in his back. Can Georgie prevent another scandal for Her Majesty's friend? These books are such light-hearted fun with some very subtle yet insightful satire thrown in. Georgie is as delightful as ever as she attempts to help young Jack navigate the rough seas of the English Aristocracy and their oftentimes illogical social dictates. Jack's incredulous reactions to it all lead to several laugh-out-loud moments. The mystery itself is one of the more convoluted in the series with several red-herrings to keep the reader guessing. The eventual explanation is logical overall despite one or two strange twists toward the end. Looking forward to Georgie's next adventure.

HTML:Lady Georgiana Rannoch learns that not everyone knows their table manners when a knife ends up in a duke’s back in the seventh Royal Spyness Mystery. London, 1934. Entrusted by Her Majesty the Queen with grooming Jack Altringham—the Duke of Eynsford’s newly discovered heir fresh from the Outback of Australia—for high society, Georgie now has the luxurious opportunity to live in one of England’s most gorgeous stately homes. But upon her arrival at Kingsdowne Place, Georgie finds herself in a manor full of miscreants, none of whom are pleased with the discovery of her new ward. Then the duke announces he wants to choose his own heir and causes quite the hubbub. Somewhere along the way Jack’s hunting knife ends up in the duke’s back. Eyes fall, backs turn, and fingers point to the young heir. As if the rascal weren’t enough of a handful, now he’s suspected of murder. But while Jack may be wild, Georgie would bet the crown jewels it wasn’t he who killed the duke... Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

This 7th book in the Her Royal Spyness series was a good murder mystery. Bowen seems to have hit her stride in this series with the previous book, "The Twelve Clues of Christmas", abandoning some of the more absurd plots of the earlier books for more straightforward mystery plots. (
