Review of 'Royal Murder' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
For some reason, I ended up reading the tenth book before reading the ninth. But in retrospect, I'm glad it worked out that way because while I wasn't thrilled with the tenth book I really really enjoyed the ninth endeavour.
This time, Lady Swift is checking out the annual royal regatta with her new pal Tipsy Fitzroy, who is determined to make a "im"proper lady out of Ellie and get her married off to some proper gent.
During the soiree, a member of the royal family (18th in the line of succession) is murdered. Because this is a royal, a special team is assigned to investigate the murder, leaving Detective Inspector Hugh Seldon, the man that Ellie is smitten with out in the cold as far as his department investigating the murder. Ellie ends up working with Hugh to solve the murder.
This story is one that I had expected …

This story is one that I had expected from the series, not the lackluster book that ended up being the 10th book.
