Rhys Bowen "A Royal Pain" (audio excerpt)

It's time for another episode of MUCH ADO ABOUT BOOKS! 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 princess— and conveniently place her in the playboy Prince’s 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 she’s culled from American gangster movies; cure said Princess of her embarrassing shoplifting habit; and keep an eye on her at parties. Then there’s the worrying matter of the body in the bookshop and Hanni’s unwitting involvement with the Communist Party. It’s 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...
