Her Royal Spyness, Fiction, Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945), Crime & mystery
A mix of Wodehousian farce and whodunit that is sure to appeal to Downtown Abbey fans, Lady Georgie - 34th in line to the throne, flat broke and struggling to survive in the Great Depression - is embroiled in a mystery.
1930's London: Poor Lady Georgiana - thirty-fourth in line to the throne - has been sent home due to a little scandal. Now she must keep the entirely unsuitable Mrs. Simpson from seducing the Prince of Wales - and help Scotland Yard by preventing someone from shooting the Prince of Wales instead of quails.
