Malice at the Palace 4 Stars Georgie Rannoch's adventures in detecting continue when she is asked to accompany Prince George's new fiancée, Princess Marina of Greece, around London, and the two stumble across a body outside Kensington Palace. Another delightful installment in the series although the inclusion of the minor paranormal element is unnecessary and adds little to the mystery. The plot revolving around the murder of a party-girl socialite who was once romantically involved with Prince George is pretty straightforward and it is easy to guess the culprit if one if paying attention. The real highlight of the book is Bowen's incorporation of real historical figures within the storyline. As an English history buff, this made the reading experience all the more engaging. The story ends with what appears to be a significant development in Georgie and Darcy's romance, and I look forward to reading the next book soon. When Belinda returns from America, Georgie again finds herself essentially homeless with no word from Darcy either. However, a quick check reveals that Binky and Fig are in the London house, so she can stay there. Fortunately, the queen quickly moves her to assist the fiancée of Prince George in adjusting to English life. However, when the body of a young socialite is found on the grounds, Georgie finds herself in dangerous territory with ghosts, drugs, and murderers. However, when Darcy's ties to the victim are revealed Georgie isn't sure about the survival of herself or her heart. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

I was intrigued by the afterword by the author detailing the actual historical events upon which this novel had been loosely based. ( )
