**Lady Georgiana Rannoch learns that not everyone knows their table
manners when a knife ends up in a duke's back in the seventh Royal
Spyness Mystery.
**
London, 1934. Entrusted by Her Majesty the Queen with grooming Jack
Altringham--the Duke of Eynsford's newly discovered heir fresh from the
Outback of Australia--for high society, Georgie now has the luxurious
opportunity to live in one of England's most gorgeous stately homes. But
upon her arrival at Kingsdowne Place, Georgie finds herself in a manor
full of miscreants, none of whom are pleased with the discovery of her
new ward.
Then the duke announces he wants to choose his own heir and causes quite
the hubbub. Somewhere along the way Jack's hunting knife ends up in the
duke's back. Eyes fall, backs turn, and fingers point to the young heir.
As if the rascal weren't enough of a handful, now he's suspected of
murder. But while Jack may be wild, Georgie would bet the crown jewels
it wasn't he who killed the duke...
