Description: Being thirty-fifth in line for the British throne has its advantages, but money isn't one of them. To make ends meet, Lady Georgiana Rannoch sometimes investigates a little royal wrongdoing. While her beau Darcy is off on a mysterious mission, Lady Georgiana Rannoch receives a new assignment from the queen. Princess Marina of Greece is to wed the king's youngest son, George, and will need a companion at the supposedly haunted Kensington Palace. Georgie's duties seem simple until she searches the palace for a ghost and instead finds an actual dead person -- a society beauty said to have been one of Prince George's mistresses. Nothing spoils a royal wedding more than murder, and the queen wants the whole matter hushed.
