Her Royal Spyness
Rhys Bowen
In 1932 London, Lady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie—a penniless royal cousin of King George V—attempts to forge an independent life as an ordinary person, armed with little more than determination and a talent for getting into trouble.

When a dead body turns up in her bathtub and mysterious forces begin closing in on her, this spirited young aristocrat must navigate a dangerous web of espionage, murder, and intrigue while maintaining her cover as a commoner. Rhys Bowen's witty debut mystery combines the charm of a fish-out-of-water comedy with the intrigue of a classic whodunit, introducing a heroine whose resourcefulness and quick wit prove far more valuable than her royal pedigree.
