This week, host Laura Mills-Alcott welcomes cozy mystery author Rhys Bowen into the studio to read from her latest cozy mystery, A ROYAL PAIN... another hilarious mystery featuring penniless aristocrat Lady Georgie. The Queen of England has concocted a plan in which Georgie is to entertain a Bavarian princessâ and conveniently place her in the playboy Princeâs path, in the hopes that he might finally marry. But queens never take money into account. Georgie has very little, which is why she moonlights as a maid-in-disguise. She must draw up plans: clean house to make it look like a palace; have Granddad and her neighbor pretend to be the domestic staff; un-teach Princess Hanni the English sheâs culled from American gangster movies; cure said Princess of her embarrassing shoplifting habit; and keep an eye on her at parties. Then thereâs the worrying matter of the body in the bookshop and Hanniâs unwitting involvement with the Communist Party. Itâs enough to drive a girl crazy... Now grab a cup of good English tea, and join Rhys Bowen for an excerpt from A ROYAL PAIN... You can read an excerpt from this book at www.FictionWeb.com.
