Royalty has its privileges, even when you’re thirty-fourth in line to the throne, as Lady Georgiana Rannoch discovers on the glamorous – and dangerous – French Riviera . . .
Why should my clueless brother, Binky, and his decidedly disagreeable wife, Fig, be the only ones to enjoy the fun and sun of the French Riviera? Thankfully, Her Majesty the Queen has once again come to my rescue. She is sending me off to Nice with a secret assignment – recover her priceless, stolen snuff box from the disreputable Sir Toby Groper.
Her Majesty’s trust is an honour, but an even greater honour is bestowed upon me in Nice – none other than Coco Chanel herself asks me to model her latest fashion. Unfortunately, things go disastrously wrong on the catwalk and before I can snatch the snuff box, someone’s life is snuffed out in a very dastardly way. With a murderer on the loose – and my dearest Darcy seen in the company of another woman – how’s a girl to find any time to go to the casino?
