description: Lady Georgiana Rannoch wont deny that being thirty-fifth in line for the British throne has its advantages. Unfortunately money isnt one of them. And sometimes making ends meet requires her to investigate a little royal wrongdoing.While my beau Darcy is off on a mysterious mission I am once again caught between my high birth and empty purse. I am therefore relieved to receive a new assignment from the Queenespecially one that includes lodging. The Kings youngest son George is to wed Princess Marina of Greece and I shall be her companion at the supposedly haunted Kensington Palace.My duties are simple: help Marina acclimate to English life show her the best of London and above all dispel any rumors about Georges libertine history. Perhaps that last bit isnt so simple.George is known for his many affairs with women as well as menincluding the great songwriter Noel Coward. But things truly get complicated when I search the Palace for a supposed ghost only to encounter an actual dead person: a society beauty said to have been one of Prince Georges mistresses.Nothing spoils a royal wedding more than murder and the Queen wants the whole matter hushed. But as the investigation unfoldsand Darcy as always turns up in the most unlikely of placesthe investigation brings us precariously close to the prince himself.
