Editorial Reviews

Bowen, author of the successful "Molly Murphy" and "Constable Evans" series, turns her attention to 1930s London and Lady Georgiana, great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria and 34th in line to the English throne. Despite their high-class breeding, the Rannoch family is quite broke, and Georgie must make ends meet in London with no money and no staff to take care of her needs. Then someone murders the odious Frenchman who had planned to seize the Rannochs' Scottish estate. Because Lady Georgiana asks questions to save her brother, who is the prime suspect, the killer's attention turns to her. Delightfully naïve, charming, and quite smart, Georgie is a breath of fresh air. Don't miss this delightful cozy series launch. Bowen lives in Northern California. [See Prepub Mystery, LJ3/1/07.]
