Fun, imaginative homage to [Rebecca]. Mrs. Mannering, indeed....

This is Royal Spyness (and Rhys Bowen) doing Daphne du Maurier and Rebecca. Cornish setting, creepy house, dead first wife - and a murder. I loved this. And with a new Rebecca adaptation out on Netflix (although it‘ll have a hard job to get close to the Charles Dance/Emilia Fox version) it was a great time to read this.

I appreciate the Author's note at beginning about how the evils of men where treated in that time vs now.

As for the story; Loved this homage to Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca and it's setting of Cornwall. It had me guessing to the very end.

Characters have grown and changed since I first met them. Which is reflected on in this story. It keeps the series fresh.

I quite enjoyed this latest installment of the Her Royal Spyness series. This one pays homage to Daphne du Maurier‘s Rebecca and does it well imo. I cannot recommend this series enough! And I have a sudden hankering to watch Rebecca now. 4⭐️

#CozyMystery

The Royal Spyness series is a cozy mystery set in England in the 1930s. Georgie, cousin to the King, is a poor relation and throughout the books finds herself embroiled in numerous murder cases. Whilst helping to solve all of them, she manages to collect a cadre of quirky friends as well as handsome husband.

This particular book turns a weekend getaway into a manor house mystery on the atmospheric Cornwall coast. A great addition to the series!
