Today's featured new hardcover mystery, suspense, or thriller title scheduled to be published during August 2016 is …
Crowned and Dangerous by Rhys Bowen, a Lady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie, Royal Spyness Mystery (10th in series)
Publisher: Berkley
With Darcy driving me out of London in a borrowed motor car, I soon discover that he isn't planning to introduce me to the pleasures of sinning in secret — as I had hoped — but to make me his wife!
Of course, there are some quibbles to be dealt with, such as my needing special permission from the King to marry a Roman Catholic and the question of where we might live after the honeymoon. Though he will inherit a title, Darcy is as broke as I am. Even his family's Irish castle has been sold to a rich American who now employes Darcy's father as a hired hand.
Throwing these cares to the wind, nothing could deter us from our mission — except perhaps the news that my future father-in-law has just been arrested. It seems the rich American was murdered and Darcy's father had more than enough motive to do the deed. With the elopement postponed, we head for Ireland where he insists he's innocent, and it's up to us to prove it — for better or worse.
— Crowned and Dangerous by Rhys Bowen
