This was a so so mystery. Lady Georgiana Rannoch, thirty-fifth in line for the British throne, is an interesting character but her only talents seem to be playing a royal role or investigating murders. Her paramour, Darcy O'Mara, is likewise an interesting young man whose role in this novel is searching out a jewel thief, let alone a murderer. Thus two mysteries are move apace with two different investigators as well as romance and a career driven mother. The story is thin in places and the plot is ok but not exactly stimulating. I notice that others found earlier books in this series more interesting so I may have to check some of those out.
