The Twelve Clues of Christmas completely rekindled my interest in this series! I was starting to debate whether or not I wanted to continue with this series after Naughty in Nice, which was lighthearted and fun but not much mystery or substance and nothing really progressed in the main plot. I'm so glad I kept reading! Book 6 was soooo much better. There was a real mystery in this one, and things kept happening at such a pace I could barely put it down and even though I had suspicions about the killer throughout the book I didn't actually figure it out until about the last third.
Things I Liked
- Darcy had some more page time! He and Georgie seemed to work things out a little better and I liked that.
- Georgie is, per usual, trying to find somewhere to live and somehow to support herself and this time instead of the queen coming through with an “assignment,” she actually finds a job that suits both herself and the royal relatives. Her mother just happens to be nearby, being her usual flighty but charming self.
- The murders – yes, more than one this time – just kept coming and getting stranger and...is it weird that I really liked that?
Short Review: the sixth in the Her Royal Spyness series. I have enjoyed the series and alternated between audiobook and kindle editions. Georgie gets hired to be a party host over Christmas (something she knows she can do and is a great way to get away from her family.) But every day there seems to be an accident with another person ending up dead. Georgie knows that that many accidents can't be coincidence and she has to solve the mystery before someone she cares about dies. Again this book she is becoming a stronger detective, more at home in her skin. Darcy seems a bit annoying this book, but the ending is well set up for the next book in the series.
