This was lots of fun to listen to。 I got to listen to the first three quickly， then had to start waiting a year or so for each。 Well worth it！

Another set of interesting characters and another new location。 Rhys Bowen books are easy to read with likable characters， descriptions of beautiful scenery， simple story lines with some humor thrown in。 I’m enjoying the series having started at the beginning。

Georgie tries to supplement her income by being an escort for gentlemen， to supper and a party。 But， her wording leaves the wrong impression， and she is rescued by Darcy。 Then， Scotland Yard calls her in， and has her shipped off to Scotland， the family castle， to avoid scandal， but also to keep an eye on the Royal Family， in Balmoral， just around the corner， who are having a spate of mysterious， potentially fatal accidents。 Georgie's sister-in-law， Fig， is appalled by the American guests staying Georgie tries to supplement her income by being an escort for gentlemen， to supper and a party。 But， her wording leaves the wrong impression， and she is rescued by Darcy。 Then， Scotland Yard calls her in， and has her shipped off to Scotland， the family castle， to avoid scandal， but also to keep an eye on the Royal Family， in Balmoral， just around the corner， who are having a spate of mysterious， potentially fatal accidents。 Georgie's sister-in-law， Fig， is appalled by the American guests staying with them， friends of Mrs Simpson， who are visiting Balmoral， but can't stay there， for obvious reasons。 More accidents happen， including Binky getting his ankle almost cut off by a trap on his morning walk。 。。。more

A quirky heroine （34 in line to the monarchy） is in the midst of attempting to solve the murders of others in the royal line。 Lots of humor and information about life as a royal in the early 1930s。 Details on Wallis Simpson and Prince David （the Duke of York--the heir）。 In addition we have interaction with Princess Lillibet （Queen Elizabeth） and Margaret。 A delightful series。

Shannon Haugland ，

Predictable and fun， and full of information about the history of the royal family that I didn’t know I was interested in。 I was going to read all of this series but there are too many - and are not really in the same class as Dick Francis and MC Beaton， and on this side of the Atlantic， Victoria Thompson。 Not a total waste of time。

Cynthia ，

Great entry for Georgie！

Maura ，

Silly at times and rather improbable in parts， it’s still a fun book - good escape reading for light entertainment。

Jill ，

Not as good as the others and the killer seemed a little over the top along with the ending。 I'm continuing with the series though Not as good as the others and the killer seemed a little over the top along with the ending。 I'm continuing with the series though 。。。more

Die Geschichte spielt in Schottland im Jahr 1932。 Lady Georgie soll ein Auge auf den Kronprinzen haben bzw。 die Augen offenhalten， denn scheinbar hat es jemand auf das Leben des Kronprinzen abgesehen。 Es geschehen allerlei seltsame „Unfälle“… Es ist der dritte Band dieser Cosy-Crime-Serie， und ich mochte ihn sehr。 Einerseits finde ich einfach die Zeit sehr spannend， in der die Geschichte spielt。 Dann mag ich auch das Setting total gerne。 Ich könnte mir diesen Roman total gut verfilmt vorstellen。 Die Geschichte spielt in Schottland im Jahr 1932。 Lady Georgie soll ein Auge auf den Kronprinzen haben bzw。 die Augen offenhalten， denn scheinbar hat es jemand auf das Leben des Kronprinzen abgesehen。 Es geschehen allerlei seltsame „Unfälle“… Es ist der dritte Band dieser Cosy-Crime-Serie， und ich mochte ihn sehr。 Einerseits finde ich einfach die Zeit sehr spannend， in der die Geschichte spielt。 Dann mag ich auch das Setting total gerne。 Ich könnte mir diesen Roman total gut verfilmt vorstellen。 Schottland in den 1930er Jahren， der Adel， die alten Gemäuer und Kleider… Das wäre interessant！ Auch die eigentliche Handlung hat mir natürlich sehr gut gefallen。 Es ist ein gemütlicher Krimi， der langsam vorangeht ohne viel Drama， auch wenn es Todesfälle gibt… Es war wieder sehr unterhaltsam， Lady Georgie zu begleiten。 Ich mag sie und ihre besondere Art und freue mich schon auf ihr nächstes Abenteuer！ 。。。more

Despite how much I love these books I’ve been spacing them out because I never want to run out of them。 I need Netflix to make a series ASAP。 It would be The Crown + cozy mystery show + the attitude of Northanger Abbey。 This one’s set in summer and perfect to read right now。

It has been a good many years since I read the last book in this series。 To my surprise， getting back into Georgiana Rannoch's world was as difficult as putting on a favorite pair of slippers。 The characters Rhys Bowen has created for this series - and there's a lot of them - last on the memory。 Within a few pages， I was back in step with Georgiana and her world。The lead character is， of course， the star。 I admire the way Bowen writes Georgie。 Georgie does not judge the time in which she's livin It has been a good many years since I read the last book in this series。 To my surprise， getting back into Georgiana Rannoch's world was as difficult as putting on a favorite pair of slippers。 The characters Rhys Bowen has created for this series - and there's a lot of them - last on the memory。 Within a few pages， I was back in step with Georgiana and her world。The lead character is， of course， the star。 I admire the way Bowen writes Georgie。 Georgie does not judge the time in which she's living （the 1930s） by today's standards。 Some writers do that and it works to the detriment of their characters， because they seem less genuine for the time period in which their stories are set and the stories become more "author's soapbox" than "character's slice of life"。 That's not to say that Georgie doesn't push the boundaries that the society of her day put on women， but the character's inner voice gives the reader an honest glimpse of what a young woman in her position understood her options to be。 I find that interesting， made more so by the fact that Georgie is resourceful and easy to root for。The particular charm of this series is not only Georgie， but its deft mix of mystery， romance and humor。 It isn't easy to serve equal and appropriate helpings of those three dishes， but Bowen does it quite well。 I'm not going to wait so long to visit Georgie again！ 。。。more

A combination of a cozy mystery and a bit of satire of the royals。 Georgie returns to her family home in Scotland and encounters many of the same characters she often sees in London: her savior Darcy， her trusted friend Belinda， and her reliable Grandad， the former policeman。 As the near misses accumulate， Georgie once again finds herself confronting the villain and barely escaping with her life。

Love this series。 Simple plots， a number of people to track， some romance， and familiar characters that you can follow across the books。

Lady Georgiana soll diesmal nach Schottland reisen， um Mordversuche an Mitgliedern der Königsfamilie aufzudecken。 Neben dem Prince of Wales hatte es der Attentäter auch auf Prinzessin Elisabeth und Georgies Bruder Binky abgesehen。 Das Setting hat mir diesmal richtig gut gefallen。 Neben Castle Rennoch und die Umgebung， lernt man auch Balmoral Castle kennen。 Wie auch in den Vorgängerbänden sind wieder Darcy， Georgies Mutter und ihr Großvater， Belinda und noch mehr vertraute Personen mit von der Pa Lady Georgiana soll diesmal nach Schottland reisen， um Mordversuche an Mitgliedern der Königsfamilie aufzudecken。 Neben dem Prince of Wales hatte es der Attentäter auch auf Prinzessin Elisabeth und Georgies Bruder Binky abgesehen。 Das Setting hat mir diesmal richtig gut gefallen。 Neben Castle Rennoch und die Umgebung， lernt man auch Balmoral Castle kennen。 Wie auch in den Vorgängerbänden sind wieder Darcy， Georgies Mutter und ihr Großvater， Belinda und noch mehr vertraute Personen mit von der Partie。 Der Fall， den es aufzuklären gilt ist spannend， die Protagonisten sind skurril， charmant und jeder auf seine Weise lustig。 Ganz besonders lustig fand ich diesmal Georgies Schwägerin Fig 😂 ich bin nach wie vor sehr begeistert von dieser Reihe。 。。。more

Lady Georgie und die königliche Familie in GefahrIm Sommer 1932 ist die junge Lady Georgiana （"Georgie" für Familie und Freunde） die vierunddreißigste in der britischen Thronfolge。 Als jüngere Schwester des Duke of Rannoch （alias Binky） ist Georgie auch ziemlich verarmt und hat den Bemühungen nicht nachgegeben， sie mit unerwünschten Männern von entsprechendem Rang zu verheiraten。Lady Georgiana hat es schwer in London。 Dank der Sommerhitze findet sie kaum Abnehmer für ihren Hausputzservice。 Aber Lady Georgie und die königliche Familie in GefahrIm Sommer 1932 ist die junge Lady Georgiana （"Georgie" für Familie und Freunde） die vierunddreißigste in der britischen Thronfolge。 Als jüngere Schwester des Duke of Rannoch （alias Binky） ist Georgie auch ziemlich verarmt und hat den Bemühungen nicht nachgegeben， sie mit unerwünschten Männern von entsprechendem Rang zu verheiraten。Lady Georgiana hat es schwer in London。 Dank der Sommerhitze findet sie kaum Abnehmer für ihren Hausputzservice。 Aber sie glaubt， dass ihre Freundin Belinda ihr gerade einen Gewinn beschert hat - eine Dinner-Begleitung für auswärtige Männer。 Doch die Werbung als Escort-Service erweist sich als katastrophal， und es wird Georgie dringend nahegelegt， nach Schottland zurückzukehren， um einen königlichen Skandal zu verhindern。Zu ihrer Überraschung wird Georgie auf Castle Rannoch mit offenen Armen empfangen。 Ihre Schwägerin， Fig， wird von einem Haus voller anspruchsvoller Amerikaner in den Wahnsinn getrieben。 Da Ihre Majestät einen Platz für sie angefordert hat， kann Fig nicht verlangen， dass sie gehen。 Also bittet sie Georgie um Hilfe， um sie zu vertreiben。Aber das dringendere Problem sind die Unfälle， die der königlichen Familie immer wieder passieren。 Es sieht so aus， als würde jemand versuchen， die Thronfolger zu töten。 Schlimmer noch， es könnte sogar jemand aus der Oberschicht sein。 Georgie macht sich auf， um herauszufinden， wer es ist， bevor die Dinge tödlich werden。 Kann sie es schaffen？Das Cover gefällt mir wieder sehr gut und der Schreibstil ist wie immer fließend。 Ein Roman mit viel Gefühl und Spannung， wo die Liebe von Georgie und Darcy auf eine harte Probe gestellt wird。 Auf jeden Fall kann man wieder selber Detektiv spielen und herausfinden wer es war， es bleibt bis zum Schluss spannend。 Ein Roman für jeden Cosy Crime Fans und Krimi-Liebhaber。ady Georgie and the Royal Family in PerilIn the summer of 1932， the young Lady Georgiana （"Georgie" to family and friends） is thirty-fourth in line to the British throne。 As the younger sister of the Duke of Rannoch （aka Binky）， Georgie is also quite impoverished and has not yielded to efforts to marry her off to undesirable men of appropriate rank。Lady Georgiana is having a hard time in London。 Thanks to the summer heat， she can hardly find any takers for her housecleaning service。 But she thinks her friend Belinda has just given her a windfall - a dinner escort for out-of-town men。 But advertising as an escort service proves disastrous， and Georgie is urged to return to Scotland to avoid a royal scandal。To her surprise， Georgie is welcomed to Castle Rannoch with open arms。 Her sister-in-law， Fig， is driven mad by a house full of demanding Americans。 As Her Majesty has requested a place for them， Fig cannot ask them to leave。 So she enlists Georgie's help to evict them。But the more pressing problem is the accidents that keep happening to the royal family。 It looks like someone is trying to kill the heirs to the throne。 Worse， it might even be someone from the upper class。 Georgie sets out to find out who it is before things turn deadly。 Can she do it？I really like the cover again and the writing style is flowing as always。 A novel with lots of emotion and suspense where Georgie and Darcy's love is put to the test。 In any case， you can play detective again and find out who did it， it stays exciting until the end。 A novel for every cosy crime fan and crime fiction lover。 。。。more

I’ve really taken to this series。 I’m intrigued by the narrator and am wondering if she’s actually American - there’s a hint of difficulty pronouncing the name ‘Graham’， and a definite Americanisation of ‘buoy’。 I know the author is American， and I imagine that’s why we get ‘airplane’， but all of that I can overlook for the sheer refreshing joy of a narrator who can pronounce ‘Rannoch’ and ‘loch’ correctly！ （Well， most of the time。。。）Georgie I love， along with her grandfather。 Her mother， and ‘t I’ve really taken to this series。 I’m intrigued by the narrator and am wondering if she’s actually American - there’s a hint of difficulty pronouncing the name ‘Graham’， and a definite Americanisation of ‘buoy’。 I know the author is American， and I imagine that’s why we get ‘airplane’， but all of that I can overlook for the sheer refreshing joy of a narrator who can pronounce ‘Rannoch’ and ‘loch’ correctly！ （Well， most of the time。。。）Georgie I love， along with her grandfather。 Her mother， and ‘that Simpson woman’ annoy me intensely， but they’re meant to。 The plot is not difficult and the style is light， and trips long nicely。 。。。more

These audiobooks are addicting。 Katherine Kellgren is an incredible narrator and I have yet to read anything by Rhys Bowen I didn't like。 These are perfect cozy mysteries and I highly recommend the Audible audio versions of them。 These audiobooks are addicting。 Katherine Kellgren is an incredible narrator and I have yet to read anything by Rhys Bowen I didn't like。 These are perfect cozy mysteries and I highly recommend the Audible audio versions of them。 。。。more
