It’s my pleasure to spotlight the latest release by author Rhys Bowen in
her Royal Spyness Mystery, FOUR
FUNERALS AND MAYBE A WEDDING.
This delightful mystery hit bookshelf Tuesday, Aug. 7.
In
the days leading up to her wedding to Darcy O'Mara, Lady Georgiana Rannoch
takes on the responsibilities of a grand estate, but proving she can run a
household just may be the death of her in the new Royal Spyness Mystery from
the New York Times bestselling author of On Her
Majesty's Frightfully Secret Service.
If
only Darcy and I had eloped! What I thought would be a simple wedding has been
transformed into a grand affair, thanks to the attendance of the queen, who has
offered up the princesses as bridesmaids.
Silly me! I thought that
withdrawing from the royal line of succession would simplify my life. But
before Darcy and I tie the knot in front of queen and country, we have to find
a place to live as man and wife...
House hunting turns out to
be a pretty grim affair. Just as we start to lose hope, my globetrotting
godfather offers us his fully staffed country estate. Mistress of Eynsleigh I
shall be! With Darcy off in parts unknown, I head to Eynsleigh alone, only to
have my hopes dashed.
The grounds are in
disarray and the small staff is suspiciously incompetent. Not to mention the
gas tap leak in my bedroom, which I can only imagine was an attempt on my life.
Something rotten is afoot--and bringing the place up to snuff may put me six
feet under before I even get a chance to walk down the aisle...

Back online as usual before long. My wrist is
healing slowing. Typing is not as painful and I can finally use all my fingers
not just my right hand.
