Media Reviews

Praise for the Royal Spyness Mysteries

Wonderful characters...A delight. --#1 New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris

An insightful blend of old-fashioned whodunnit, clever satire and drawing room comedy of errors. --New York Times bestselling author Jacqueline Winspear

Brilliant...This is so much more than a murder mystery. It's part love story, part social commentary, part fun and part downright terrifying. And completely riveting. --#1 New York Times bestselling author Louise Penny

The perfect fix between seasons for Downton Abbey addicts. --New York Times bestselling author Deborah Crombie

Fans of P.G. Wodehouse looking for laughs mingled with some amateur sleuthing will be quite pleased. --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Georgie's high spirits and the author's frothy prose are utterly captivating. --The Denver Post

A smashing romp. --Booklist (starred review)
