Good mystery and fun listen, but really? Vampires? The reader enjoyment of a mystery relies on the narrator not believing in something the reader knows can't exist. It is not good to think the narrator is dumb. Georgiana is smarter than that.

Another fun addition to the Georgie mystery series and I must say that I am loving the development direction of Georgie and Darcy’s relationship.

A cozy mystery set in Europe in 1930's. Fun and light.

Another fun addition to this series! Honestly, I like cozies, but I probably wouldn't have picked this up on my own. I tend to like modern in my cozy and don't do a lot of historical, period, unless we're talking regency romance. But I won one of this series in a panel at DragonCon, so I figured I'd give them a shot. And I'm glad I did.
I liked that Georgie mildly entertained the vampire/werewolf thing without taking it too seriously. It added some silly fun to the story. I am a bit tired of the Darcy thing. Just do it already!

Every so often I need a book ' gourmet dessert.' This series fits the bill - I love the characters, the time period and setting in London (although Georgie isn't in London for most of the book) are both some of my favorites, and the mystery itself is well-written. I enjoyed the addition of the newest character, but missed the grandfather (he's one of my favorites). The only unfortunate thing now is that I have to actually wait for the next book to be finished and come out in order to read it.

This is a fun series and an easy read. Georgiana, distant cousin to the royals, has no money, not to a lot of prospects. But she's doing the best she can to scrape by, given Royals just aren't supposed to get jobs and be practical.

I enjoy these mysteries. There is a charming sense of humor. Poor Georgiana, cousin to King George and Queen Mary, 34th in line to the throne, is always being summoned by the Queen to do a favor. This time, she is to attend a wedding in Transylvania. She was asked to be a bridesmaid by the royal family because she went to finishing school with the bride, Maria Teresa (Matty). My, how Matty has changed from the homely, tubby girl to a slender enchanting creature! But, Matty's brother is Siegfried = ugh! And he still wants to marry Georgiana who would do anything but marry him! The wedding is to take place in the family's country estate - a castle in the mountains with nothing anywhere close. And the wedding party is snowed in by an avalanche in the mountain pass. And Georgie has been seeing strange things - a man climbing up the castle wall, someone sneaking into her room, a missing maid. And her friend Belinda has spooked her talking about vampires and werewolves. Georgie knows they don't really exist -- but, maybe she's wrong?
