Is the Wedding Between Sir Hewitt Willoughby-Franklin’s Step-Daughter and Billionaire’s Son Off?
Rumours are that the recent death of Kelley Lindsell (29), the personal chef of tycoon Rudy (68) and Sheri Trotman (65) at Sir Hewitt’s Fawstead Manor country estate in Fenshire, has spooked Sybil Bransgrove (36) so badly she’s considering cancelling her nuptials.
Meanwhile the bride and her mother, Lady Grace (61), are being supported by family friend Lady Beatrice (36), the Countess of Rossex, who, alongside her business partner Perry Juke, is currently managing the project to refurbish the Manor House and Lodge on the estate.
Not again! Now that Lady Grace has asked Lady Beatrice to liaise with the police during the investigation into Kelley’s death, she’ll have to cooperate with boorish Detective Chief Inspector Richard Fitzwilliam whether she likes it or not. Her only relief will be solving the murder with the help of her friends Perry and Simon and her dog Daisy to get rid of him faster. But with so many wedding party guests staying on-site, any one of them could be the killer. Can they find out who it is before Sybil calls off the wedding…

Author Bio
Hello. I’m Helen Golden. I write British contemporary cozy whodunnits with a hint of humour. I live in small village in Lincolnshire in the UK with my husband, my step-daughter, her two cats, our two dogs, sometimes my step-son, and our tortoise.
I used to work in senior management, but after my recent job came to a natural end I had the opportunity to follow my dreams and start writing. It’s very early in my life as an author, but so far I’m loving it.
It’s crazy busy at our house, so when I’m writing I retreat to our caravan (an impulsive lockdown purchase) which is mostly parked on our drive. When I really need total peace and quiet, I take it to a lovely site about 15 minutes away and hide there until my family runs out of food or clean clothes.

Why Should You Read This?
Growing up reading The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot, my heart and soul have been partial towards stories of royal families. I haven’t yet come across any series that pulled me in as much as The Princess Diaries did. However, Helen Golden’s A Right Royal Cozy Investigation series has me hooked. Her stories steadily build pace as they progress, and I find that immensely impressive. She has you down a certain path, and you think you know this one is going to end, and bam! – it is something else entirely.
I had absolutely loved the first book in the series – Spruced Up for Murder, and I wasn’t disappointed with this book. I love Helen’s writing style. It is easy to read, enjoyable, and appropriately paced. I enjoyed reuniting with my favorite characters – Lady Beatrice, Simon, Perry, Daisy and DCI Fitzwilliam. An adorable cozy mystery – the relationships and bonding between characters won my heart. I can’t stop rooting for DCI Fitzwilliam, and I absolutely can’t wait for there to be a budding romance between Lady Rossex and him. I am looking forward to see how Golden handles the romance in the future books.
Imagine a cold early morning, and the feeling one gets when they hold a warm beverage in their hand – this is precisely how the book made me feel. Warm and fuzzy. A definite recommendation if you love royal cozy mysteries.
