I saw this book online and thought it looked cute, a little holiday whodunit set in 1933. I like mystery novels and reading a holiday themed book might be fun. Especially when the author is known for her zany humour.
The book is about Lady Georgiana Rannoch, she is 35th in line to the throne, but her holiday plans suck. The love of her life Darcy O'Mara is in South America, and she finds herself stuck with her brother’s family including his sourpuss wife, Fig. She finds an escape when she is hired as hostess to help Lady Hawse-Gorzley with a large Christmas party. She arrives at the piscusice village, and is thrilled that Darcy is the nephew of Mrs. Hawse-Gorzley and will be spending Christmas there. She hasn't been there long before a string of seeming accidental deaths happen; the first is when a man shot out of a pear tree.
Ryder is the hardest of the three brothers to figure out. He is tough on the outside and hasn't shown to be anything but the same within. He is surly and unsociable but when he puts on a tool belt no woman can resist him, except maybe Hope.
Hope left the city to be an inn keeper at the brother's Boonsboro Inn. She likes the change to the small town, and everything is perfect. The only thing lacking is her love life. The only interaction she has with men is arguing with the infuriating Ryder, who is always getting under her skin. But no one can deny a spark between them that started with a New Year's Kiss.
With everything at the Inn running smoothly Hope's past is about to make an appearance. Seeing her vulnerable Ryder decides that although Hope is not perfect, but she might be perfect for him.
