Summary
At the royal boat race, there are beautiful barges, plenty of bunting, a handsome prince, and...is that a body in the water? Lady Swift is on the case!
Spring, 1923. Onetime adventurer and now amateur sleuth Lady Eleanor Swift is attending the annual royal regatta with her new pal Tipsy Fitzroy. Tipsy has Eleanor trussed up like a debutante in a new dress, determined to turn her into a proper society lady. Even Eleanor’s favorite companion, Gladstone the bulldog, has a new outfit for the occasion.
But the sparkling prize-giving ceremony is interrupted when the devilishly handsome host gulps his glass of champagne on stage and collapses to the floor. The victim is none other than the king’s cousin, Lord Xander Taylor-Howard. He was rumored to be entangled in a rather dubious gambling ring, but did someone kill him instead of collecting his debt? Or was this simply an ill-timed tragic accident? Either way, a right royal scandal is afoot....
Sir Percival, the head of the royal police, asks Eleanor for her help investigating. He’d do anything to keep the story under wraps. She knows it will get her into hot water with a certain dapper Detective Seldon, but she’s determined to see justice done. However, as she digs deeper, she learns Lord Taylor-Howard was hiding more than one murky secret. It isn’t until she takes a closer look at the unfortunate royal’s shattered champagne flute that she stumbles upon just the clue she needs. But can she reel in the killer before her ship is sunk too?
A warm and witty 1920s mystery that cozy fans will just adore. Addictive for fans of T E Kinsey, Lee Strauss, and Agatha Christie.

A Royal Murder
This is another lovely murder mystery where Lady Swift is asked to help solve the murder of a minor Royal to stop a scandal. Done really well leaving them fumbling in the dark. Read brilliantly again by Karen Cass.

Great Story
I have all these books Lady Swift books on audible. I love to listen to them. The narrator is fabulous and the voices perfect for each character. They are easy to listen to. No nasty swearing. The pace is great. They make me laugh out loud.

A Royal Read
Verity does it again absolutely brilliant. I must admit I now cannot read the book because Karen Cass has totally ruined it for me because of her wonderful narration of the story especially Lady Swift, her wonderful butler, the ladies and Chief Inspector Seldon. However, please can Elinor and Hugh finally tie the knot so the staff can have a big event at the hall especially for Clifford

We have no Royal Police.
I couldn't get into this as we have no Royal Police to my knowledge in the UK. The royal Military Police police the Army but are not the same as Royal Police. So, the plot is totally unbelievable. it's more likely that in a situation such as this MI5 would get involved.
Apart from that this is yet another good book in the series.
