Sa première mission royale : espionner le prince de Galles. Londres, 1932. Lady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie, fille du duc de Glen Garry et Rannoch, trente-quatrième héritière du trône britannique, est complètement fauchée depuis que son demi-frère lui a coupé les vivres. Et voilà qu'en plus ce dernier veut la marier à un prince roumain ! Georgie, qui refuse qu'on lui dicte sa vie, s'enfuit à Londres pour échapper à cette funeste promesse de mariage : elle va devoir apprendre à se débrouiller par elle-même. Mais le lendemain de son arrivée dans la capitale, la reine la convoque à Buckingham pour la charger d'une mission pour le moins insolite : espionner son fils, le prince de Galles, qui fricote avec une certaine Américaine... Entre Downton Abbey et The Crown, une série d'enquêtes royales so British ! (payot.ch)

It's 1930s London, and Lady Georgiana -- thirty-fourth in line to the throne -- has a lot on her plate, but little in her cupboards, in this national bestseller... Baked beans and boiled eggs. That's what my houseguest, the Bavarian princess, will have to eat if I don't get help posthaste. The Queen of England has requested I entertain said princess, placing her in the playboy prince's path, in hopes he might finally marry. But queens never consider money, of which I have little. And which is why I moonlight as a maid-in-disguise. My plans: 1) Clean house in manner of palace. 2) Blackmail brother, Binky, into sending a few quid. 3) Unteach Princess Hanni English from gangster movies -- lest she address the queen as "old broad." 4) Keep eye on princess at parties, where she drinks like a fish. Then there's the matter of the body in the bookshop and Hanni's unwitting involvement with the communist party. It's enough to drive a girl mad...

The Twelve Clues of Christmas
Rhys Bowen

She may be thirty-fifth in line for the throne, but Lady Georgiana Rannoch cannot wait to ring in the New Year - before a Christmas killer wrings another neck ... On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me - well, actually, my true love, Darcy O'Mara, is spending a feliz navidad tramping around South America. Meanwhile, Mummy is holed up in a tiny village called Tiddleton-under-Lovey with that droll Noel Coward! And I'm snowed in at Castle Rannoch with my bumbling brother, Binky, and sourpuss sister-in-law, Fig. So it's a miracle when I contrive to land a position as hostess to a posh holiday party in Tiddleton. The village is like something out of A Christmas Carol! But then there are three deaths, so-called accidents. Perhaps a recent prison break could have something to do with it ... that, or a long-standing witch's curse. But after Darcy shows up beneath the mistletoe, anything could be possible in this wicked wonderland.

Georgie's mother, the glamorous and much-married actress, is hearing wedding bells once again—which is why she must hop across the pond for a quickie divorce in Reno. To offer her moral support, Georgie agrees to go along on the all expenses paid voyage across the Atlantic. While her mother meets movie mogul Cy Goldman—who insists on casting her in his next picture—Georgie finds herself caught up in the secret investigation of a suspected jewel thief. Lucky for her, the lead investigator happens to be her dashing beau, Darcy! Her mother's movie and Darcy’s larceny lead everyone to Cy’s Hollywood home, where the likes of Charlie Chaplin are hanging about and there’s enough romantic intrigue to fill a double feature. But they hardly get a chance to work out the sleeping arrangements before Cy turns up dead. As if there wasn’t enough drama already...
