Blotto, Twinks and the Ex-King's Daughter is the first in the Blotto & Twinks series by Simon Brett. It has dropped to $0.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. Be careful - there are a couple of versions out there, one of which is definitely more than $0.99 <grin>. This is sort of a fun series that makes me think of Rhys Bowen's Lady Georgie series with some PG Wodehouse mixed in.

Quote:
'Murder most enjoyable' Colin Dexter
Ex-Princess Etheline, daughter of the exiled king of Mitteleuropia, has been kidnapped during a visit to Tawcester Towers, ancestral seat of the Dukes of Tawcester, and ducal family honour demands that she should be rescued.
The Dowager Duchess entrusts the task to her son, the Right Hon. Devereux Lyminster, known universally as 'Blotto'. He is, of course, terribly handsome, honourable and brave, but as sadly deficient in the brains department as his sister 'Twinks' is gifted.
So the siblings set off, accompanied by trusty chauffeur, Corky Froggett. They drive across many countries to Mitteleuropia, a realm now ruled by a usurper, the ex-king's brother, where they suspect the princess has been taken.
Can brave Blotto and Twinks rescue Ethelinda, or will they meet their end in the evil clutches of King Vlatislav?
