Perhaps we can now have a slightly upgraded and slightly less socially-embarrassing Georgie? Seeing Georgie learning to mingle was really the best part of Naughty in Nice , and the silver-lining from the Darcy shortage was new suitors, even if they were only temporary. I almost wish Jean Paul, he of the suspicious motivations and silver tongue, could have hung around, but the love-triangle hater in me approved of the outcome and the brief glimpse of a jealous Darcy was well worth it.
All this fun, fashion and flirting has its drawbacks, however, and what suffered here was the actual mystery. There was little time to focus on the mystery of who stole the snuffbox and it was really conveniently found in the end. There is also a little family secret for Georgie that is introduced out of the blue at the end and just as quickly bundled off, so that it feels like and unnecessary throwaway tidbit. You win some, you lose some, I guess.

Each book also has a light mystery in which Lady Georgiana gets involved in as well.
Naughty in Nice started out promis The Her Royal Spyness series is a fluffy historical mystery series that takes place around Europe during the early 's. Naughty in Nice started out promising. I was disappointed with the previous book in the Her Royal Spyness series as the fun bubbly tone was mostly missing. In Naughty in Nice that seemed to have returned and I was really invested in the story at the beginning. I feel like despite Naughty in Nice's fun beginning it began to eventually feel as though it was following the same kind of pattern as the previous books.
This is a common problem with books in a longer series and it's one of my reading pet peeves. Although the mystery elements, the dialogue, and the changing settings are entertaining, the lack of character development began to frustrate me. I'm someone who gets emotionally invested in characters more so than plot. Obviously I prefer both to be equally as good, however if the characters don't interest me in some way or there isn't any development to them I lose interest quickly.
While I feel like the characters in this series are interesting they also feel now in the fifth book somewhat static. The characters are still the same, their relationships have not changed, and the same mistakes and misunderstandings are being made. It might also not have been as helpful to read so many of these back to back as with the first couple of books I read with a good amount of time in between. Either way I don't really care to read any more of the series at this point. I would still recommend the first few books in the series to anyone whom the blurb catches their attention as they were really fun to read.
However I would warn going in that it does get very repetitive after a while and perhaps space them out as you go.
The author did a great job of steering you off-course with other clues and conflicting viewpoints. I didn't realize how much I liked him till his presence was basically nil. Get to Know Us.

Apr 12, Jonathan rated it it was amazing Shelves: This series has once again surprised me by getting even better than the last four! In Naughty in Nice the queen asks Georgie to retrieve a very expensive snuffbox for her, but when a murdered body shows up and Georgie becomes the number one suspect what can she do but investigate the murder?
With a great cast of new characters, including Coco Chanel, and some returning characters this book was simply wonderful and I finished it in one night! The characters are so well written in this series, that This series has once again surprised me by getting even better than the last four! The characters are so well written in this series, that you find the mystery taking the "back burner. You still see more of Darcy and I still hope we learn more about him later, but it was a nice change. You also see less of Belinda in this book, which again was a nice change.
However you see tons more of Georgie's mother and two new characters who are thrown to center stage, Coco Chanel,and Vera, two hilarious and loyal ladies that I hope appear more in future books. In this book Georgie's mother shows a different side of herself, a more caring, gentle, motherly side that if almost the opposite of what we've seen of her in former books, I really liked the new attitude she had and I hope she continues to appear in future books.
The mystery was excellent, there were plenty of clues for the reader to look for, and yet I didn't guess the killer until Georgie did. The author did a great job of steering you off-course with other clues and conflicting viewpoints. Can't wait to read the next one! Feb 03, Pamela Shropshire rated it really liked it Shelves: This installment of the Royal Spyness series was a lot of fun. It would have been more fun if not for the stupid misunderstanding between Georgie and Darcy, but I realize their estrangement served a dual purpose: Will they or won't they?
Instead of having Georgiana spy on the Prince of Wales a This installment of the Royal Spyness series was a lot of fun. HM suspects the thief is one Sir Toby Groper as Georgie muses, he is aptly named, because he gropes any nearby female. Then he turns up murdered and the French police suspect Georgie because the gardener saw her enter the house. But Georgie was miles away at the time with the fake Marquis! I thought the mystery was well done in this one.
I also enjoyed the appearance of Coco Chanel. And Georgie's mother was actually nice in this one - she buys Georgie some much needed gowns, plus a fur coat! Jul 27, Jennifer Rayment rated it it was amazing. I thoroughly enjoy this delightfully British mystery series set in the 30's. This installment Georgie once again thanks to the Queen is set out on special mission which takes her to Nice. There are plenty of twists and turns and hijinks occur as always. Georgie, due to instances which I cannot discuss as it will ruin the story, begins a romance with a charming and sexy French man.
The setting is truly divine, and I now have an obsessive need to see Nice Though lets face it, I truly believe this bookworm would be disappointed, as it won't be like it was in the 30's I have mentioned on any occasions, that my love of this series is based on the fabulous characters, not the mystery itself. You won't be disappointed this time around as there are some delightful scenes with Belinda, Queenie, Darcy, and Georgies Mom and maternal grandfather.
If you haven't had a chance, I highly recommend the audio versions of this series. Katherine Kellgren does a brilliant job of bringing to life each and every character Oct 25, Susan Johnson rated it it was amazing. Reading this Royal series is like spending the afternoon eating chocolates on the sofa. It's a great way to spend the day.
There's just something so entertaining about the Lady Georgiana and her quest to have a bearable life. She's just so hamstrung with the poverty of her family and yet so closely tied to the Royal Family that she has few options. Luckily, this time the Queen sends her to the Riviera and finally Georgie gets to kick up her heels.

Let me go pop another chocolate in my mouth. This series is one of my favorites, it is always entertaining, humorous and creative. In this addition Georgiana is off to Nice with the hope of inter-mingling with the notorious, young, European jet setters. Her main adjective is to retrieve a snuff box that was taken from a gathering hosted by The Royals.
It must be a clandestine operation because it would not be appropriate to implicate any of the attendees, however, the Queen is quite certain she knows who the culprit is. Georgiana's adventu This series is one of my favorites, it is always entertaining, humorous and creative. Georgiana's adventure takes her on quite a ride surrounded by the privileged and all the regular eclectic characters of the series.

This book is the fifth in The Royal Spyness Series. I really enjoy this series, need to read 4 and I think this is the best one yet. The London house is being closed as Lady Georgianna's, 34th in line for the throne, brother and his family are preparing to go the Riveria.

But then the Queen asks if Georgie would undertake a secret mission to recover a valuable snuffbox that has been stolen from the castle and is surely in Nice. And of course to keep an eye on the wayward Prince and Mrs. In the dining car on the way to Nice, Georgie meets Coco Channel. Channel is very impressed with Georgie and wants her to be a model in a fashion show that is being planned.
Soon, with less than desirable accomodation with her brother and family, Georgies heads off to villa where Channel is staying, only to find out it is her mothers villa. Their neighbor is the just the person she wants to meet, the one that stolen the Queen's snuffbox. She visits with Sir Toby to see if the snuffbox is actually there and it is. The next day Sir Toby is found dead in his pool and a witness has placed Georgie at seen. Mean while at the fashion show, Georgie is wearing one of Channel designs and a necklace provided by the Queen as nears the end of the runway she trips and falls and the necklace disappears.
Who is repsonsible for the theft and the killing of Sir Toby. And are they related. We have a fair amount of suspects. Other than Georgie, there's is the Marquis, for which Georgie has developed an interest in, who is the girl in town that looks so much like Georgie, the wife who has her fill of cheating husband, Sir Toby's son who was booted out of school and has accumulated a fair amount of gambling debts. Coco pulls in some favors and gets an inspector from Surtee and Georgie ask her grandfather,a retired policeman, to come and help. Between the three of them they are able to solve this exciting case.
Thia is a really fun and exciting read.
More exciting twist and turns than the Grand Prix at Monte Carlo. Try and start with the first so you will know all the charactersand how they have developed.
Chuckles abound in this series. May 23, Lauren rated it liked it. In the fifth installment of Her Royal Spyness , our plucky heroine Georgie sadly crossed into eye-rolling territory. While Naughty in Nice has the most complicated plot of the series so far, Georgie is strangely dense.
Her teeth-grinding stupidity was doubly frustrating because the plot would have been loads better if she had been her usual self. This addicting series has everything! I can actually visualize being there with the main character! I highly recommend this fun read! Jun 20, Julia rated it really liked it.
Another delightful, cozy mystery in the Her Royal Spyness series.
This one takes place in Nice, as the title indicates. Georgie's mother plays a more prominent role in this mystery, which was nice to see.
Coco Chanel also makes an appearance! Nov 19, Ryan rated it liked it. Book number 5, and I'm still in love with Georgie,her mother, Darcy, Belinda, and all the rest of them. As you know, I'm a huge mystery fan, but I've never been one into the "cozy" classification of mysteries all that much. I find most of them to be rather predictable and full of stock characters that could easily pass back and forth between authors. But there is something so fun and lively about Georgie, that I can't help but keep coming back for more.
Poor Georgie, despite the royal blood flowi Book number 5, and I'm still in love with Georgie,her mother, Darcy, Belinda, and all the rest of them. Poor Georgie, despite the royal blood flowing through her veins, she is young woman who just doesn't have any money. She isn't allowed to have a job like a "commoner" could, so she can't make money.
Her, long deceased, father squandered the family fortune years ago, so there is no money coming from that direction. Her brother's wife, holds the purse strings tightly, and doesn't allow Georgie much in the way of expenses. So she has been forced to make for herself, the best she can. Luckily for her, she is surrounded by those that love her, and if they can't help her financially, they keep her spirits up.
When the Queen sends her to the Riviera to find her missing antique, she has no clue where she will stay, or how she will pull it off. Through some rather lucky breaks, she finds herself standing on the porch of her mother's villa, who she didn't even know was going to be in France at the time. So with the place to stay settled, she does her best to figure a way to get into Sir Toby Groper's good graces. And once again, providence strikes, for her mother's villa just happens to sit right above Sir Toby's. Of course this wouldn't be Georgie's life in everything didn't go wrong, and uproariously so.
At one point in time she is forced to jump off a yacht, only to be rescued by a dashing nobleman who may not be all he seems to be. Customers who bought this item also bought.
