Royal Blood by Rhys Bowen
4.0
Royal Blood
4 Stars
Lady Georgianna Rannoch is sent to represent the British Royal family at a wedding in Transylvania. However, events soon escalate out of control at gloomy Bran Castle when Georgie sees the bride drinking blood; an annoying politician is poisoned at the dinner table, and her incompetent maid disappears into thin air. Can Georgie solve the mystery before she becomes one of the undead?
Rhys Bowen's Her Royal Spyness series is silly and predictable, but also a lot of fun, especially the audiobook version narrated by the incredible Katherine Kellgren.
As with previous installments, the murder investigation isn't the most original, and the identity of the culprit is easy to guess. Nevertheless, Georgie's detecting skills are improving although her willingness to accept vampires as an explanation, even if for a short time, is a bit mind boggling.
Darcy O'Mara puts in another appearance as Georgie's enigmatic love interest. Darcy's attitudes are not always the most appealing, but he does seem to be developing a genuine affection for Georgie. Time will tell if he lives up to his potential.
All in all, an entertaining read and I look forward to reading more about Georgie's shenanigans.
