I am unsure whether it is the writing or the new narrator, but Georgie comes across as exceptionally elitist and snobby in this book. While Jasmine Blackborow's accents and intonation are very good, I miss the wonderfully humorous style that the late Katherine Kellgren brought to the narration. Speaking of which, there is a lovely tribute from Rhys Bowen at the beginning of the audiobook that brought tears to my eyes. Considering the sheer number of criminal cases that Georgie has been involved in, one would think that she would have become less naive and more perceptive. This is certainly not the case here as it takes her most of the book to realize that the nefarious servants at her godfather's estate, Eynsleigh, are up to no good. In terms of the romance, Georgie and Darcy finally tie the knot, but it is all rather anti-climactic at this point. Overall, the absurd plot, the fade-to-black wedding night and the unremarkable narration all make for a disappointing listen. I hope the next book will be better. ( ) Lauren2013 | May 5, 2023 | I loved this so much. The plot was well thought-out and kept me guessing. Georgie was cleverer than in previous books, I thought, and ably navigated the mystery. This book felt like both an ending, while keeping it open for future adventures. I am hoping to see more of Georgie. Review copy courtesy of the publisher via its First to Read program. (  ) wisemetis | Sep 13, 2022 | The subplot of the book is the culmination of 11 previous books filled with the flirting and courting between Darcy and Georgie - the wedding. I was struck with trepidation at the beginning of the book as Georgie spies a pretty woman standing next to Darcy and immediately falls into a pit of despair; I dislike characters that don't embrace their own self worth. Happily, it was a fleeting scene, and the rest of the (minimal) wedding related story-line was full of delicious revenge as Georgie gets to watch her evil sister-in-law fume over Georgie's close relationship with the King and Queen. The scene where she tells Fig who her bridesmaids are was one of the best. Overall, an enjoyable read.

"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.."--
