Brilliant...Part love story, part social commentary, part fun and part downright terrifying. And completely riveting...This book is perfect (Louise Penny, #1 New York Times bestselling author)

It's the perfect fix between seasons for Downton Abbey addicts (Deborah Crombie, New York Times bestselling author)

A feisty new heroine to delight a legion of Anglophile readers (Jacqueline Winspear, New York Times bestselling author)

Whimsical...Bowen successfully melds a whodunit with comedy as few contemporary writers can (Publishers Weekly)

[A] charming, delightfully fresh series...fans of historical cozies who like Kerry Greenwood's Phryne Fisher series will snap this up (Library Journal)

A mix of Wodehousian farce and whodunit that is sure to appeal to Downtown Abbey fans, Lady Georgie - 34th in line to the throne, flat broke and struggling to survive in the Great Depression - is embroiled in a mystery.
