God Rest Ye, Royal Gentlemen

By Rhys Bowen
God Rest Ye, Royal Gentlemen by Rhys Bowen digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Georgie is back and hanging the stockings with care when a murder interrupts her Christmas cheer in this all-new installment in the New York Times bestselling Royal Spyness series from Rhys Bowen.

Georgie is excited for her first Christmas as a married woman in her lovely new home. She suggests to her dashing husband, Darcy, that they have a little house party, but when Darcy receives a letter from his aunt Ermintrude, there is an abrupt change in plans. She has moved to a house on the edge of the Sandringham estate, near the royal family, and wants to invite Darcy and his new bride for Christmas. Aunt Ermintrude hints that the queen would like Georgie nearby. Georgie had not known that Aunt Ermintrude was a former lady-in-waiting and close confidante of her royal highness. The letter is therefore almost a royal request, so Georgie, Darcy, and their Christmas guests: Mummy, Grandad, Fig, and Binky all head to Sandringham.

Georgie soon learns that the notorious Mrs. Simpson, mistress to the Prince of Wales, will also be in attendance. It is now crystal clear to Georgie that the Queen expects her to do a bit of spying. There is tension in the air from the get-go, and when Georgie pays a visit to the queen, she learns that there is more to her request than just some simple eavesdropping. There have been a couple of strange accidents at the estate recently. Two gentlemen of the royal household have died in mysterious circumstances and another has been shot by mistake during a hunt. Georgie begins to suspect that a member of the royal family is the real target but her investigation will put her new husband and love of her life, Darcy, in the crosshairs of a killer.

Slightly Smiling Face“So fun and entertaining! 🩷 The Her Royal Spyness series just gets better and better, and are a real treat for people who love cozy mysteries, history, and the English monarchy. Rhys never fails to craft a clever and engaging story, and I absolutely adore the MCs, Georgie and Darcy, along with the memorable cast of side characters. Grandad, Queenie, Binky and Fig, Belinda—all delightful! I hope Rhys keeps writing these! She certainly has a forever fan in me 💕”
