The Queen of England has concocted a plan in which Lady Georgie is to entertain a Bavarian princess and conveniently place her in the playboy Prince's path, in the hopes that he might finally marry. But queens never take money into account. Georgie has very little, which is why she moonlights as a maid-in-disguise. She must draw up plans: clean house to make it look like a palace; have Granddad and her neighbor pretend to be the domestic staff; un-teach Princess Hanni the English she's culled from American gangster movies; cure said Princess of her embarrassing shoplifting habit; and keep an eye on her at parties. Then there's the worrying matter of the body in the bookshop and Hanni's unwitting involvement with the Communist Party.… (más)

I really wanted to like this series, but not sure I will continue after this one. Maybe at some point. But the tendency to relate word for word Georgie’s relationship to royalty numerous times is grating. Everyone is obsessed with sex. A near rape is brushed off and never mentioned again. And in this particular book, there was absolutely no Mystery about who the villain was. ( )

An entertaining summertime read, and lives up to the Her Royal Spyness reputation.

I was annoyed at one of the character's constant use of the word 'sexy'. Even the explanation that she picked it up watching American movies does not jive, as talkies had just been introduced and the scripts certainly didn't have such racy language! If it had only been once or twice I wouldn't have minded but it comes up a lot in the book. ( )

I didn't like this one quite as much as the others---mostly because Hannelore's "American English" got EXTREMELY irritating really fast. Also, I was not at all happy about the flippant "joke" about rape. In fact there were just a lot of sex references throughout this whole story---pretty tiring. The "mystery" took awhile to come about and the answers were obvious. All that said, I've read some further into the series that I liked a lot better so I'm hoping I enjoy the next one more than I did this one. ( )

Book two in Her Royal Spyness cozy mystery series, has Lady Georgiana Rannoch (Georgie to her friends) hosting a Bavarian princess as part of Her Majesty’s plan to get the Prince of Wales interested in a more suitable partner than that awful American woman. Princess Hannelore is only eighteen and fresh from the convent, but she’s eager to finally explore a big city and enjoy flirting with boys … from an impoverished bookshop clerk to the attendees at a swanky party to the eligible men at a country estate. But a tragic accident at the swanky party threatens to embroil the Princess in a scandal and cause an international incident.

I like Georgie as a character, and love her grandfather, the retired London bobby, as well as her best friend, Belinda. But the plot here didn’t really capture my attention. I felt it dragged and it seemed Bowen was trying too hard to weave the various deaths together into a whole conspiracy. Still, it does give an added dimension to impoverished Irish Peer Darcy O’Mara. He may be more than just an unreliable rogue… ( )

A lovely romp amongst the white aristocracy and privileged and several audiences with Queen Mary. ( )
