榮獲許多推理重要獎項作者

“時代巨作，奇趣橫生，神秘誘人。”——《丹佛郵報》

“女主角神氣歸來，帶來妙趣橫生的皇家秘密。”——《出版者週刊》

“A grand period piece and a lighthearted and completely diverting mystery.”---DENVER POST

“Enchanting. Fans will welcome the return of this spunky heroine.”---PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

To make ends meet, slightly impoverished but well-connected Lady Georgiana Rannoch takes on house-cleaning jobs in disguise in Agatha-winner Bowen’s enchanting second mystery set in 1930s England (after 2007’s Her Royal Spyness). A tea invitation from the queen, however, sets her on a new mission. Georgiana must house and chaperone a young Bavarian princess the queen hopes to set up with the prince of Wales, thus diverting his attention from his current American love interest. The princess proves to be quite a handful, naïve and addicted to slang. Invitations to the palace, country house weekends and swinging parties are provided for her amusement. When a series of unfortunate deaths arouses Georgiana’s suspicions, she launches an investigation that culminates in a startlingly bloody conclusion. Fans will welcome the return of this spunky heroine, 34th in line to the British throne. (July)---From Publishers Weekly
