It is always so easy to fall into the next "Royal Spyness Mystery"! It is one of my favorite mystery series currently out!! I love all the characters and look forward to what new mystery falls into Georgie's lap; or what body she stumbles over! I also like to look back at the history; I am worried about WWII and its impact on these wonderful people. These books are delightfully cozy reads and every time I read one, it's like I'm going home! Highly entertaining!

Set in 1936, a Hollywood film crew is invited to an English countryside estate to shoot outdoor scenes of a movie. The residents, including Lady Georgiana, cousin to King Edward, have to put up with more and more disruptions and intrusions into their home, while already hiding King Edward's lover, Wallice Simpson. Adding to the stress and confusing is Georgie's mother, another actress, and companion of a high-ranking Nazi official. When a child actor is kidnapped, Mrs. Simpson disappears, and one of the leading ladies is found murdered, can Georgie, and her husband, Darcy, help the police figure out the identity of the criminals?

This is a delightful cozy mystery best enjoyed on a rainy afternoon with a cuppa. When a break is needed from heavy-duty reading, We Three Queens is just the ticket.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

This has become one of my go-to series, and this new installment didn’t disappoint. If you are a fan of Her Royal Spyness this will likely deliver for you as well.

We Three Queens, the latest installment of Her Royal Spyness series by Rhys Bowen, is a captivating read. Set in 1036, just before her cousin King Edward abdicates the throne, Lady Georgiana's tranquil country life is upended. She finds herself dealing with unwanted house guests and an American film crew and actors. Kidnapping, murder and of course her cousin's dillemma all make for a very entertaining read.

Fans of this skillfully written historical cozy series will be delighted with this latest entry. Georgie, 34th in line for the English throne, is happily settled into domesticy with her husband Darcy and son James when her cousin "David," King Edward, asks her to allow his paramour, the notorious Wallis Simpson, to hide out from the press at Georgie's godfather's estate. This would be difficult enough, given Mrs. Simpson's prickly nature, but unbeknowst to Georgie, a American film crew is about to descend upon them with all the accompanying chaos movie-making entails.

Just when Georgie begins to think she can keep all of this mayhem under control, Mrs. Simpson disappears, the Shirley Temple-esque star of the movie is apparently kidnapped, and one of the film's stars is found murdered. As always, Georgie and Darcy put their heads together to try to solve this trio of mysteries with many twists and turns and red herrings along the way. Series regulars are present for moral support, and actual historial figures and events add verisimilitude as the storm clouds of WWII gather.

An entertaining entry in this sparkling, well-crafted series.

Full Disclosure--NetGalley and the publisher provided me with a digital ARC of this book. This is my honest review.

Great summer read. The series is light, entertaining and fun. Rhys Bowen is such a versatile author. All of her books encompass historical events realistically with plots varying in complexity and seriousness. I turn to this series for a fast paced relaxing and humorous read.
