And now for royalty of another era:

Royal Blood is the fourth in the almost-too-cute, but just stays, for me, at least, on the good side of cuteness, Royal Spyness series by Rhys Bowen. Apparently a few other folks agree with me, because the series has picked up a quite a few nominations/wins of various awards. (There is a bit of seriousness in the way it deals with the tensions of the time leading up to WWII.) It features Lady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie, 34th (more or less) in line to the throne and perpetually flat-broke, who ends up doing various little "favors", that somehow always turn into crime investigations, for Queen Mary.

Blood has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US.
