Georgie comes across as a clumsy airhead by making just about every bad decision possible while pursuing a murder during her first real visit to Paris. Darcy is a non sequitur as he continually needs to check with the office before doing anything. The finale is rushed, perhaps by a deadline, and notes are added to explain what happened to the raison d'etre-scientist. (  ) jamespurcell | Jul 19, 2023 | Long-running series must be marketable. In PERIL IN PARIS, Bowen has Georgie hanging out with the Lost Generation crowd, including Stein and Hemingway, and Georgie’s best friend Belinda designing for Coco Chanel. I will continue with the series for the British wit and the characters, but speaking of characters, I miss Queenie! I keep wishing Q. would walk into one of these exotic locales and say, “Wotcher, missus.” Queenie has been left at home while Georgie and Darcy scour the globe looking for recognizable names to drop in book jacket inserts. (  ) jillrhudy | Mar 8, 2023 | In this latest installment the Her Royal Spyness series, we find Georgie accompanying Darcy to Paris so she can have a nice long visit with her bestie, Belinda while Darcy pursues “company business.” Georgie is feeling dowdy because of her pregnancy, and who better than Belinda (with a little help from Coco Chanel) to perk her up. She also manages to make an appearance at Gertrude Stein’s salon {& meet Ernest Hemingway. However when Darcy wants her to retrieve a sensitive microfilm from a member of the German trade mission, things start to go awry and Georgie finds herself under suspicion of murder while simultaneous being pursued by parties who want to murder her for the microfilm. I could point out where all the holes in this plot are but why bother, when this series of books is so much fun? (  ) etxgardener | Feb 3, 2023 | The latest installment of the Royal Spyness mysteries has Lady Georgianna Rannoch and her husband going to Paris to visit her long-time friend Belinda who has been apprenticed with Chanel. Darcy is, of course, there for undercover work. This novel dragged a bit due to long passages of the heroine fretting over her husband will be all right doing his risky job. She comes across as wishy-washy and whiny. Library book finished 12/11/2022 ( ) catseyegreen | Dec 13, 2022 | sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

HTML:Lady Georgiana Rannoch and her dashing husband, Darcy, are awaiting a bundle of joy, but an unexpected trip to Paris will thrust them straight into a tangled web of international intrigue in this all-new mystery in the New York Times bestselling Royal Spyness series from Rhys Bowen. What a delight it is to finally be able to enjoy a simple meal again! I have been in the throes of morning sickness for the last few months as Darcy and I prepare to welcome a brand-new addition to our little family. Now that I am feeling better, I have realized I am dreadfully bored! It seems that all my nearest and dearest are off leading their own busy lives while I sit at home and attempt to train our two adorably naughty puppies. Fun as it may be, it is hard not to long for a little adventure, a change of pace, before my true confinement begins when the baby comes. Happily, it seems that Darcy has read my mind. When I receive a letter from my glamorous best friend, Belinda, Darcy suggests we take a trip to Paris to visit her. It seems he also has a spot of business of which to take care, so I will be staying in Belinda??s flat as she works feverishly on Coco Chanel??s fall collection. I happen to know Coco from a disastrous encounter in Nice years ago, and I am hoping this visit will go much more smoothly. But I soon learn that nothing about my time in Paris is going to be simple . . . or safe for that matter. Darcy has asked me to take on a small chore as a part of his latest assignment. I am to covertly retrieve something from an attendee of Coco??s show. It seems easy enough, but I discover that this little errand could have terrifying consequences for a world on the brink of war. When things go horribly wrong, I am left to find a killer all while trying to fend off a French policeman who is certain that I am a criminal mastermind. But I have no plans to deliver my darling little one in a prison cell, and so I will muster every ounce of my courage to save the day . . . and, quite possibly, th Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
