Another hilarious mystery featuring penniless aristocrat Lady Georgie, βa feisty new heroine to delight a legion of Anglophile readersβ (Jacqueline Winspear).
The Queen of England has concocted a plan in which Georgie is to entertain a Bavarian princessβ and conveniently place her in the playboy Princeβs 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 sheβs culled from American gangster movies; cure said Princess of her embarrassing shoplifting habit; and keep an eye on her at parties. Then thereβs the worrying matter of the body in the bookshop and Hanniβs unwitting involvement with the Communist Party. Itβs enough to drive a girl crazy...
