Özet

The Queen of England has concocted a plan in which penniless aristocrat Lady Georgie is to entertain a Bavarian princess and conveniently place her in the playboy prince's path, in the hopes that he might finally marry.

But queens never take money into account. Georgie has very little, which is why she moonlights as a maid-in-disguise. She must draw up plans: clean house to make it look like a palace; have Granddad and her neighbor pretend to be the domestic staff; un-teach Princess Hanni the English she's culled from American gangster movies; cure said princess of her embarrassing shoplifting habit; and keep an eye on her at parties.

Then there's the worrying matter of the body in the bookshop and Hannis' unwitting involvement with the Communist Party. It's enough to drive a girl crazy.

Eleştirmen yorumları

  • Macavity Award, Historical Mystery, 2009
"All the characters from the first book in this rollicking series are present here - Georgie's much-married actress mother, her kind-hearted and resourceful Cockney grandfather, her sophisticated friend Belinda and the enigmatic Darcy O'Mara, a penniless Irish peer to whom Georgie finds herself attracted. There are also fleeting references to the war clouds that are gathering in Europe and the rise of fascism at home and abroad, both of which are neatly tied in with the murders and their solution. It works - both as a grand period piece and a lighthearted and completely diverting mystery." (The Denver Post)

As usual, the voice work for this series is superb. Katherine Kellgren is such an amazing VA, and makes every moment enjoyable. The story this time although has a lot promise, didn’t feel as punchy this time around. Overall though, I loved it and will promptly be listening to the third book.

Not as punchy as the first book, but still a whirl of a time!

Colourful characters, full of humour, good pace, strong storyline and hugely entertaining! I can’t wait to read book 3….

So entertaining!

Katherine Kellgren gives a Stella performanace that brings this story to life. A good series that gets better.

Overall quite good though the mystery elements are a bit lacking and rely quite a lot on coincidence. I like the characters and the light heartedness of the story. Disappointed to find the last 20mins are a preview of the next book, now if I buy the next one I'll have paid twice for the same content. So I won't.

Not as long as it looks
