I love this ridiculous, silly series. This is what I want from my fluff. Granted, I had to shut off my brain to stop it from analyzing the political implications of the plot, but the book is such lightweight fun that even I was able to shut off my inner critic and enjoy the ride. And that’s saying something.In the fourth installation, Georgie journeys to Transylvania for a wedding. Ms. Bowen makes excellent use of the setting for a lot of tropes in both the horror and mysteries genres, and the mystery itself is engaging. The supporting cast continues to be fun and the hijinks continue to be ridiculous, all while Ms. Bowen lightly skewers 1930s social pretensions. Recommended.
Well done romance mystery- 4th in a seriesMs. Bowen does an excellent job using humor and strong plot develop to make a far fetched story believable. Lady Georgiana is well connected but poor. The fun comes from seeing how she navigates in expensive society circles, hiding her poverty and solving a mystery. In book three she is sent to represent the crown at a royal marriage in a remote Transylvania castle. Murder and mayhem follow.The dialogue is crisp and character development is solid. If you're looking for a fast fun read reminiscent of Wodehouse's Jeeves this is the book for you.
4.5 possibly. I think this might be my favorite so far.
