Masked Ball at Broxley Manor is the prequel to the Royal Spyness series.19yo Lady Georgiana faces the prospect of spending her days at Rannock House with her sister-in-law, after a very unsatisfying debutante season. However, not all is as gloomy as it seems when Georgie receives an invitation to attend a masked ball at Broxley Manor. What follows is some mystery and mayhem as George's suitor disappears.Rhys Bowen's Royal Spyness mysteries are definitely in the forefront of historical cozy mysteries, and are one of my favorites.Masked Ball at Broxley Manor is a short novel at 50 pages, and tells a little bit of Georgie's back story. While there was no thrill of the murder mystery I've grown to love with the Royal Spyness series it is definitely worth a read. For readers of the series it ties us over until the next book is released in November. For new readers, they will fall in love with Georgie and definitely want to read the rest of the series.
