Summary
Malice at the Palace follows the travails of Lady Georgiana Rannoch, a temporarily broke girl about London in the 1930’s who is thirty-fifth in line for the British throne. While her beloved Darcy is off on a mysterious mission, Georgiana receives a new assignment from the Queen. The King’s youngest son George is to wed Princess Marina of Greece and Georgiana is to be her companion at the supposedly haunted Kensington Palace. Things get complicated when Georgiana searches the Palace for a supposed ghost only to encounter an actual dead person, a society beauty said to have been one of Prince George’s mistresses. After Darcy turns up, the investigation brings Georgiana and Darcy precariously close to the prince himself.
