About this listen

A Royal Spyness mystery starring Lady Georgiana, 34th in line for the throne - and the mystery world's favorite penniless heiress.

With its posh clientele in the country for the summer, Georgie's housecleaning business has fizzled. So she tries hiring herself out as a dinner and theatre companion. But her first client has quite the wrong idea.

To avoid further scandal, Georgie's shipped home to Castle Rannoch, where her summer plans include honoring a promise to Her Majesty to keep Castle Rannoch's divorced houseguest from seducing the Prince of Wales. She's also been coerced into helping Scotland Yard with a top-secret mission - namely keeping an eye on the shooting party at Balmoral and preventing someone from shooting the Prince. And Georgie must manage all this without strangling her odious sister-in-law Fig or spineless brother Binky.

Critic Reviews

"Katherine Kellgren is completely winning as guileless, gullible, plucky Georgie. With the castle overrun by visitors - including the notorious American Mrs. Wallis Simpson; her paramour, the Prince of Wales; and an assortment of gentry and staff - Kellgren shifts accents and attitudes with ease. Phryne Fisher fans will love Kellgren’s Lady Georgiana." ( AudioFile)

Another fantastic listen, 3rd in the series and still finishes with me wanting more. The narrator is amazing and if I could give her more than 5 stars I would. absolutely brilliant all round.

Fantastic

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend it to a friend looking for a light, fun story.

What other book might you compare Royal Flush to, and why?

If Royal Flush was a cake it would be equal parts of Georgette Heyer and Agatha Christie being baked by Nancy Mitford.

What does Katherine Kellgren bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Kellgren is a most enjoyable reader. Her renderings of the characters of the young princesses and of the heroine's best friend are particularly good and her Mrs Simpson is flawless.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I would have listened to.it all in one go, if I had the time.

Any additional comments?

I love this series and am about to start Royal Blood.

Another fun Georgie adventure.

I enjoy this series as an easy listen along while being busy but this book tested the grey cells a bit more. Great references to the monarchy without claiming true stories or not. Interedting plots of intrigue and less who donit than a host of strange events including the very humourous monster invention that takes grest turns showing just how well the chinese whisper can work.

Better than most
