Lady Georgiana Rannoch is off to solve a Hollywood homicide in the eighth mystery in the New York Times bestselling Royal Spyness series. England, 1934. Georgie's mother, the glamorous and much-married actress, is hearing wedding bells once again—which is why she must hop across the pond for a quickie divorce in Reno. To offer her moral support, Georgie agrees to go along on the all expenses paid voyage across the Atlantic. While her mother meets movie mogul Cy Goldman—who insists on casting her in his next picture—Georgie finds herself caught up in the secret investigation of a suspected jewel thief. Lucky for her, the lead investigator happens to be her dashing beau, Darcy! Her mother's movie and Darcy’s larceny lead everyone to Cy’s Hollywood home, where the likes of Charlie Chaplin are hanging about and there’s enough romantic intrigue to fill a double feature. But they hardly get a chance to work out the sleeping arrangements before Cy turns up dead. As if there wasn’t enough drama already...

Short Review: This is a fine fluff mystery. But it was not really up to some of the other books in the series. I read it primarily because it is in a series and the next book in the series is out. I knew that the reviews were not that good. After reading it, nothing in the broader storyline moved anywhere.
Also random, but probably contributing to my disappointment with the book is that I read it right after reading the first Inspector Margiet book. The real solution to both books is the same. I won't give that away, but what are the chances?
