When we meet Georgie in the latest installment of the Her Royal Spyness mysteries it's Christmas time again, and faced with the prospect of spending the holiday at Castle Rannoch with Fig and her extended family (including a very handsy brother-in-law) Georgie escapes to the tiny village of Tiddleton-Under-Lovey, where she lands a position as the token royal at a big house party. While Georgie knows that her mother, grandfather and Noel Coward will be staying down the street, she's unprepared for some other surprises-- including the arrival of Darcy, her erstwhile boyfriend, and the murders that start happening at regular daily intervals.
Sometimes I want to shake Georgie because she can be so dumb, and since I figured out the pattern on the first murder, there was at least a hundred pages in the middle where I wanted to say, "Duh!" But there did turn out to be a deeper mystery in the story, and while there wasn't much advancement in the overall plot during the first five books, fans of the series will find this story very satisfying.
