Summary
Agatha Award-winning author Rhys Bowen’s charming combination of intrigue and romance blended with a touch of humor shines when performed by Audible Hall of Fame narrator Katherine Kellgren, whose deft range and impeccable accent work make it hard to believe this isn’t a multicast performance.
In this irresistible cozy set in 1930s London, Rhys Bowen introduces the lively Lady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie—or "Georgie" for short. Despite standing 34th in line for the throne and occasionally having tea with (…and spying for!) Her Majesty the Queen, Georgie is penniless and down-on-her-luck. And just when it seems things might be looking up, she finds a body in her bathtub.
Listeners are sure to be hooked on this royally enjoyable series—and luckily for them, the collaboration between author and narrator only gets richer over the course of 12 books.
Critic reviews
- Audie Award Nominee - Best Mystery/Suspense Audiobook, 2011
"Rhys Bowen has crafted an insightful blend of old-fashioned whodunnit, clever satire, and drawing room comedy of errors -- and created a feisty new heroine to delight a legion of Anglophile readers." (Jacqueline Winspear, author of the Maisie Dobbs novels)

good story
enjoyed the story, but the narrator's voice was a little strident and spoiled my enjoyment

Intrigue with a touch of humour
Reflecting life as it was and even today is still detected in many situations

Just fun
Well narrated with the upper class ways of talking and just fun to listen to. Nothing too heavy, but doesn't pretend to be anything it's not. Really enjoyed it.

brilliant!
I have enjoyed this author’s other books and happened across her Christmas 12 clues book, loved it so much that i thought i would start at the beginning.
Entertaining story, excellent narration, the murder took a while to get to, but once we did, it was well executed, pun not intended!

Dreadful narration
What did you like best about Her Royal Spyness? What did you like least?
I liked the concept behind the story. But the story itself is slow-moving and very badly read. The accents are too heavy and unbelievable.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
I lost interest before getting to anything interesting. The pace of the book was too slow
How could the performance have been better?
Less use of accents
If this book were a film would you go see it?
No
