Summary

Handpicked by Rhys Bowen, Jasmine Blackborow is the dazzling narrator for the 12th installment of Rhys Bowen's best-selling Royal Spyness Mystery series.

Georgie, or Lady Georgiana Rannoch, is busy planning her upcoming nuptials to Darcy O'Mara. Unfortunately, what has started as a simple wedding has become quite a royal headache and grand affair, thanks to a guest list that includes the queen and the appointment of princesses as Georgie's bridesmaids. “If only Darcy and I had eloped!” she thinks, as she attempts to organize her wedding and find a place for her and her husband-to-be to live.

Just as she despairs of ever finding a home, her godfather offers his fully staffed country estate. With Darcy off in parts unknown, Georgie makes her way to Eynsleigh alone, only to find the grounds in disarray, and the small staff suspiciously incompetent. Not to mention the gas tap leak in her bedroom, which is beginning to look like an attempt on her life. Something sinister is afoot - and bringing the place up to snuff may put Georgie six feet under before she even gets a chance to walk down the aisle....

Great experience

It is a tough job to succeed Katherine Kellgren in narrating The Royal Spyness books. I think that Jasmine Blackborow has done a splendid job. The book itself is great as always, even perhaps surpassing the others in the series. Fully recommended.

New narrator gives a fine performance

Stepping into the shoes of the previous narrator is a big ask but was very successfully done in this charming spyness story - I have loved all the series so far as always am left with a real feel good feeling

Four Funerals and Maybe a Wedding

With many weddings in the horizon one by one a death prevented them from happening, with an offer of an estate to move into Lady Georgina found strange things happening. Really sad to hear about Katherine Kellgren, but Jasmine Blackborow has done a wonderful job.

Storylines finally completing

Nice to finally hear realistic English accents, though Katherine did a good try - could never get past the dates being read as American rather than English. Only irritation was the Rannoch pronunciation change, feel this was more a fault of the production team though as they should have pointed it out.
Other than that, it was nice to finally get to a conclusion with some of the storylines, so that the author can concentrate on new mystery plots.
Looking forward to the next instalment.

Couldn't put it down!

At first, I was put off by the narrator's voices, being unable to distinguish characters easily and only being able to conjure up Penny, the sister in law on As Time Goes By with Judi Dench! However, it soon developed into a more natural performance and I warmed to all of them. It's amazing how one person can act all these parts so consistently. Loved the storyline - as usual I couldn't see how it would be solved!! Now disappointed that it's over :(

I just had to listen twice, It is an enthralling story, and full of domestic and family life, but so scary also. It was sad that such a brilliant reader has died. many thanks

The One To Hear


In my opinion, books 1, 2 and 12 (this one £ are the books to read in this series, as there is no character development throughout. The story in this is quite novel and we see some resolutions (however I wonder where they will live)! I may get the next one, but after that, I’m done with this series.

A new narrator, following the death of the previous longstanding one. A good replacement in that, she can mimic most of the voices, but she’s not as loud and strident as her predecessor - I prefer that - although that makes Belinda and ‘Her Grace’ sound less perky, and grandad sound old. But at least she doesn’t hype up every single plot change!

So much better narrated than all the other books

So glad. The new narrator doesn’t do the dick Van Dyke cockney take off.
this is one of the best stories from the series so far. I definitely have in joyed it more than any of the other episodes because the performance is so much better.

Undecided

Katherine Kellgren really made the previous books so enjoyable and such fun but could not say the same about this one. I appreciate there were big shoes to fill, but find it strange that she obviously did not continue the pronunciation of Names etc., in the same vein which I found jarring and as such lost enjoyment of the story, added to that the fact that ‘drawing’ in drawing room has only one R. So glad Georgiana finally made it up the aisle. It’s a great series.
