Opis

In the fifth Royal Spyness Mystery, Lady Georgiana Rannoch discovers that being a minor royal has its privileges when she visits the glamorous and dangerous French Riviera
London, 1933. Her Majesty the Queen is sending Georgie off to Nice with a secret assignment to recover her priceless, stolen snuff box from the disreputable Sir Toby Groper. Her Majesty s trust is an honor, but an even greater honor is bestowed upon Georgie in Nice when none other than Coco Chanel asks her to model the latest fashions.
Unfortunately, things go disastrously wrong on the catwalk and before Georgie can snatch the snuff box, someone s life is snuffed out in a very dastardly way. With a murderer on the loose and Georgie's beau Darcy seen in the company of another woman how s a girl to find any time to go to the casino?"

Praise for the Royal Spyness Mysteries

Wonderful characters...A delight. #1 New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris

An insightful blend of old-fashioned whodunnit, clever satire and drawing room comedy of errors. New York Times bestselling author Jacqueline Winspear

Brilliant...This is so much more than a murder mystery. It s part love story, part social commentary, part fun and part downright terrifying. And completely riveting. #1 New York Times bestselling author Louise Penny

The perfect fix between seasons for Downton Abbey addicts. New York Times bestselling author Deborah Crombie

Fans of P.G. Wodehouse looking for laughs mingled with some amateur sleuthing will be quite pleased. Publishers Weekly (starred review)
