Publisher's summary

Georgie is just back from her honeymoon with Darcy when a friend in need pulls her into a du Maurier-like murder in this all-new installment in the New York Times best-selling Royal Spyness series from Rhys Bowen!

Georgie's best friend, Belinda, inherits a spooky old house in Cornwall and asks Georgie to go with her to inspect the property. When they arrive, they meet Rose, a woman Belinda knew as a child when she spent her summers with her grandmother in Cornwall. Belinda never liked Rose, who has always been bossy and a bit of a bully, but when Belinda's house proves to be uninhabitable, Rose invites them to stay with her.

Rose is now married to Tony Summers, Belinda's childhood crush, and lives in the lovely house on the cliffs that he has inherited. Rose confides that she thinks Tony killed his first wife and now she is afraid. She asks Georgie and Belinda to observe Tony's behavior and their surroundings. Is Rose imagining things? Is Tony dangerous? In their quest for answers, they encounter a creepy housekeeper, Mrs. Manners, and learn that some kind of forgotten tragedy occurred on the property years ago involving them all.

There is a lot of strange to go around and things only get weirder - and deadlier - when one night a member of the household is found dead. All clues point to Belinda as the prime suspect. Now Georgie must uncover some long buried secrets that may prove the victim was really a villain before Belinda takes the fall for the murder.

Loved it!

It's been a while since I read from this series but I jumped in again and I'm so glad I did. Fun premise, fabulous narrator - a winning combination. I was sorry when it was over and look forward to the next book!

Great mystery

I was engaged throughout the entire story
I really liked the characters and I enjoyed this book.

The main character was very likeable. And everyone she came into contact with was completely suspect. Which made it impossible to KNOW who done it!

The Last Mrs Summers

I really enjoy all of Rhys Bowen’s books. This one was one of my favorites. The main character, Georgiana, is wonderful as is Darcy. She has done such a good job of explaining all her characters that I can picture them perfectly in my mind. The perfect series to take yourself away from all the awful thing happening in our world right now .

Might be the best yet

Despite no appearance from Grandfather and a limited appearance of Darcy, this was a wonderful listen. It might become my favorite.

Much better narrating!

I’m so glad I read the reviews and didn’t leave the series after Jasmine’s first narration. I could barely get through that one (book #12), with its whininess and grating voices. I followed reviewers’ advice, skipped the cheetahs, and went on to this one. So much better! It was much closer to Katherine’s interpretation, and back to the old Georgie.
