the twelve clues of christmas by rhys bowen

Agent: Meg Ruley, the Jane Rotrosen Agency. The twelve clues of Christmas by Bowen, Rhys. Bowen blends zany humor with fair-play detection as well as any author of traditional mysteries. With one villager dying each day, the amateur sleuth suspects that the accidents are anything but. Accompanied by the anti-Jeeves, her bumbling, if endearing, maid Queenie, Georgiana arrives in Tiddleton-Under-Lovey only to find that a series of apparently accidental deaths has begun to plague the rustic community. On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me-well, actually, 'my 'true love, Darcy O'Mara, is spending a 'feliz navidad' tramping around South America.

Escape comes just in time for the holidays when she answers an advert and is hired to help Lady Hawse-Gorzley with a large Christmas party at Hawse-Gorzley’s home in Tiddleton-under-Lovey, Devonshire. Despite her connections (albeit attenuated) to the Crown (she’s 35th in the line of succession), Georgiana finds herself at the mercy of her brother’s ghastly family. Set at Christmas-time 1933, Bowen’s sixth whodunit featuring the irrepressible Lady Georgiana Rannoch (after 2011’s Naughty in Nice) may be her best yet.
