Heirs and Graces
4 journalers for this copy...
This is Book # 7 of (A Royal Spyness Mystery) series of 8 books by Rhys Bowen.
From the back cover: "I've been entrusted by Her Majesty with grooming Jack Altringham-the duke's newly discovered heir fresh from the Outback of Australia-for high society. No sooner has the lad been retrieved than the duke announces he wants to choose his own heir. Then after quite the hubbub, Jack's hunting knife somehow finds its way into the duke's back. ..., but I'd bet the crown jewels it wasn't he who killed the duke . . ."

This series has just gotten better and better. For awhile I thought "The Twelve Clues of Christmas" was my favorite but "Heirs and Graces" is even better. "Queen of Hearts" is the next book in the series but I'll have to go lookin' for that one! If it's better then "Heirs and Graces" it'll be quite a book.
This book will soon be mailed across the country to tomato 68 in Downey CA.

Received this book as a RABCK from weeder. Thank you so much. I know I will enjoy this mystery.
I liked that Belinda got in trouble for getting herself invited to stay with Georgiana so she could get a rich husband...then gets trapped in the house where anyone could be a murderer and all she wants to do is quit the place and go home, but the police won't let her...I found that hilarious. That's what she gets for lying!
I didn't like the whole seance stuff in the book. The Bible makes it clear that when a person dies their thoughts cease and they have no further awareness of what is going on. They are asleep until Jesus comes again to wake them and then take them to heaven. People aren't in heaven or in hell when they die, they sleep until Jesus returns and judges them according to the deeds of their life. The spirits people speak to at seances aren't the spirits of the dead, they are Satan's demons. People should totally stay away from such things.

Hi elizardbreath! This is the last book I've sent you for now. I believe I have the next book still on my TBR pile. When I'm done with that one, I'll send it to you as well.
Thank you so much for sending these! I'm excited to read them!

"Caught" this book from Paperbackswap. I love this series and I am glad to see from another reader that it is better than The Twelve Clues of Christmas which is my current favorite!
Great book! I really enjoy this series and this book did not let me down. I loved the ending!!! I released this book to a Little Free Library in Marion, Massachusetts.
