  <default_description>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...</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't plan on reading this series, but I appear to be stuck in it now.  I seem to really enjoy every book of Bowen's that I pick up, and by the end of this one I started to get pretty attached to the characters.  Can't wait to see where the series goes from here.]]></body>

Poor Georgie is penniless but is able to live in the family town home in London.

    <body><![CDATA[Fast, amusing read.  Heroine not incompetent although there is a man who comes in to help get her home 2 times.  Bad guy is also a woman, actually women.  Definite twist on average murder mystery to have women play both sides.  Will read others in series.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Bhowen isn't the strongest, suspense-wise — and it's quite a ways through the book before you start to realize what exactly the &quot;mystery&quot; is, but the characters are endearing, if somewhat libertine, and the story moves quickly. Not bad for a light, mid-week read.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was ok.  The mystery was pretty good but there were a couple of scenes that were totally unneccessary and lots of talk about Georgie needing to lose her virginity, mostly from her best friend.  What kind of friend is that?]]></body>
