About this listen

Lady Georgiana Rannoch and her dashing husband, Darcy, are awaiting a bundle of joy, but an unexpected trip to Paris will thrust them straight into a tangled web of international intrigue in this all-new mystery in the New York Times best-selling Royal Spyness series from Rhys Bowen.

What a delight it is to finally be able to enjoy a simple meal again! I have been in the throes of morning sickness for the last few months as Darcy and I prepare to welcome a brand-new addition to our little family. Now that I am feeling better, I have realized I am dreadfully bored! It seems that all my nearest and dearest are off leading their own busy lives while I sit at home and attempt to train our two adorably naughty puppies. Fun as it may be, it is hard not to long for a little adventure, a change of pace, before my true confinement begins when the baby comes.

Happily, it seems that Darcy has read my mind. When I receive a letter from my glamorous best friend, Belinda, Darcy suggests we take a trip to Paris to visit her. It seems he also has a spot of business of which to take care, so I will be staying in Belinda’s flat as she works feverishly on Coco Chanel’s fall collection. I happen to know Coco from a disastrous encounter in Nice years ago, and I am hoping this visit will go much more smoothly. But I soon learn that nothing about my time in Paris is going to be simple . . . or safe for that matter.

Darcy has asked me to take on a small chore as a part of his latest assignment. I am to covertly retrieve something from an attendee of Coco’s show. It seems easy enough, but I discover that this little errand could have terrifying consequences for a world on the brink of war. When things go horribly wrong, I am left to find a killer all while trying to fend off a French policeman who is certain that I am a criminal mastermind. But I have no plans to deliver my darling little one in a prison cell, and so I will muster every ounce of my courage to save the day . . . and, quite possibly, the world!

spoilt for me by the narrator

God Rest Ye, Royal Gentlemen also suffered from the change in narrator. The previous narrator seemed more as I expected Lady Georgie to sound. I found the forced pronunciation off putting.

Real famous characters

I love the inclusion of people from this era that are involved. There’s: the royals, Mrs Simpson, some WW2 German hierarchy and several fashion designers. Great plot with lots of suspects.

Loved the story, struggling with the narration

This narrator is best suited for reading Mary Poppins or other children’s book perhaps. There way too much enthusiasm for the simplest sentence and the main character sounds like a mature Queen Elizabeth. Struggle through though and you may enjoy the story.

Another must listen

Loved the continued story and escapades that Georgie finds her self in. I’m not entirely sure of the historical accuracy for the time period, but a great listen nonetheless.

Nothing better than a Her Royal Spyness mystery

The characters come alive each time I listen to one of the stories in the series . These books have depth to the story but also are fun to listen to. The narration is wonderful !

Georgie whining?

Was it just me or did anyone else find George excessively whiny in this book? (I have read or listened to all of the others)

When the plans go horribly wrong, they thing the lady who was murdered should have been her target things go tipsy turvey. With Lady Georgina now the police's top suspect she know she has not a moment to loose to solve this crime. But how will she make good Darcy's job! Thrilling from start to finish, fast moving with many fun stories with in the mystery. Read brilliantly yet a gain by Jasmine Blackborow.

great as usual

Addictive as usual and the narrator is really consistent apart from some rather odd pronunciations as Georgiana ….
