2013 book 212

Rhys Bowen's Heirs and Graces
Yay, finally a new book in the Royal Spyness series! In this one, Victoria's great-granddaughter Georgie finds herself being enlisted by a dowager duchess to teach the new heir--who's grown up as an average Australian--some social graces. But then! The current Duke is murdered! With the heir's Australian hunting knife! I thought I had totally predicted the killer but was way off, much to my surprise and delight. I really enjoy this series--Georgie is an interesting heroine, I like the historical setting and reading about the foibles of upper-crust British society, and the tone is always nice and light (even when there's murder involved). I wish there were more series like this one. A-.
