Georgie is just back from her honeymoon with Darcy when a friend in
need pulls her into a du Maurier-like murder in this all-new installment
in the New York Times best-selling Royal Spyness series from
Rhys Bowen!
Georgie's best friend, Belinda, inherits a spooky old house in Cornwall
and asks Georgie to go with her to inspect the property. When they
arrive, they meet Rose, a woman Belinda knew as a child when she spent
her summers with her grandmother in Cornwall. Belinda never liked Rose,
who has always been bossy and a bit of a bully, but when Belinda's house
proves to be uninhabitable, Rose invites them to stay with her.
Rose is now married to Tony Summers, Belinda's childhood crush, and
lives in the lovely house on the cliffs that he has inherited. Rose
confides that she thinks Tony killed his first wife and now she is
afraid. She asks Georgie and Belinda to observe Tony's behavior and
their surroundings. Is Rose imagining things? Is Tony dangerous? In
their quest for answers, they encounter a creepy housekeeper, Mrs.
Manners, and learn that some kind of forgotten tragedy occurred on the
property years ago involving them all.
There is a lot of strange to go around and things only get weirder - and
deadlier - when one night a member of the household is found dead. All
clues point to Belinda as the prime suspect. Now Georgie must uncover
some long buried secrets that may prove the victim was really a villain
before Belinda takes the fall for the murder.
