“Fans of Peter Lovesey’s hilarious books transforming the future Edward VII into an unlikely sleuth will relish Bowen’s whimsical fifth Royal Spyness mystery starring Lady Georgiana Rannoch, 34th in line to the British thrown (after 2010’s Royal Blood.) Bowen successfully melds a whodunit with comedy as few contemporary writers can.” – Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“The best part of this delicious series is the cast of characters (well known and otherwise), led, of course, by the level-headed and stiff-upper-lipped Georgiana, who tackles whatever is in front of her, be it murder or romance, with uncommon relish. A royal romp.” –Booklis

And comment from Rhys: I’ve been asked many times how I pronounce my name. It’s REECE, not Rice Risss or anything else. It’s the Welsh spelling so I know it looks odd, but y is a vowel in Welsh.
