Her Royal Spyness is the first in a historical cozy mystery series featuring Lady Georgiana, sister to a Scottish Duke and 34th in line for the British throne in 1930. Unfortunately, her family estate is nearly destitute and her brother has cut off her meager allowance. In order to avoid an arranged marraige to a fish-faced European prince, Georgie flees alone to the family house in London. Once there, she uses her wits to figure out a way to make a few pounds surreptitisously - because God forbid a member of the royal family should actually be caught working! But her progress towards independece is impeded when a body turns up in the bathtub of own home, her brother is accused of the murder, and Georgie finds herself the victim of one accident after another. Or are they accidents?

This was an utterly delightful cozy mystery. It's well-written and well-plotted with a charming, spunky and intelligent heroine. I've found a new favorite series :-)
