As Lady Georgiana's beloved Darcy drives her out of London, she soon discovers that he isn’t planning to introduce her to the pleasures of sinning in secret—as she had hoped—but to make her his wife! 

Of course, she'll need special permission from the king to marry a Roman Catholic. Though he will inherit a title, Darcy is as broke as Georgie. Even his family’s Irish castle has been sold to a rich American who now employs his father. 

Nothing will deter them from their mission—except perhaps the news that Georgie's future father-in-law has just been arrested for murdering the rich American. With the elopement postponed, they head for Ireland, where the suspect insists he’s innocent, and it’s up to them to prove it—for better or worse.

Oh yes! Thank you Georgie for another fun murder mystery. We finally get to meet Darcy’s father and see a bit of his previous life in Ireland. I am still annoyed by the lack of communication between Georgie and Darcy, but he’s growing on me. I did love the inclusion of Zou Zou to mix up the situation.

Her Royal Spyness:
