![]() ![]() Agent: Meg Ruley, the Jane Rotrosen Agency. Bless the Bride Molly Murphy Author Rhys Bowen Publisher Little, Brown Book Group, 2016 ISBN 1472118383, 9781472118387 Length 320 pages Subjects Fiction Mystery & Detective General Fiction. Wodehouse looking for laughs mingled with some amateur sleuthing will be quite pleased (e.g., when a passenger asks the Berengaria’s captain, “Do ships like this sink very often?,” he dryly responds, “Only once”). This quest involves a murder investigation once the ocean liner lands in the U.S. Georgie and her anti-Jeeves of a maid, the hapless Queenie, set sail on the Berengaria, aboard which they become involved in the search for a legendary jewel thief. In need of a quickie divorce in Nevada, Claire invites her daughter to join her on a trip to America. The arrival of her scandalous actress mother, Claire Daniels, lifts her out of the doldrums. The year 1934 finds Lady Georgiana Rannoch, an impoverished cousin of George V, adrift, with nothing particular to do in the Kent countryside. Bowen’s eighth Royal Spyness mystery (after 2013’s Heirs and Graces) is a showcase for the series’ many strengths. ![]()
