Her name is Lady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie and she is daughter to the Duke of Atholt and Rannoch. She is thirty-fourth in line to the throne, and she has not money. None. She has no job, no training, and no prospects. She can marry Fish-face, or Prince Siegfried of Romania. Her aunt, the Queen has also offered her the chance to be a lady in waiting in her castle. But Georgie doesn't want any of that. She wants to have a career and be self sufficient.
In order for a young lady with a title to get a job, she has to go undercover. She creates a cleaning service and some of her clients are London's wealthiest. They would also recognize her, so she has to be very careful.
She also discovers some secrets - some secrets that someone wants to keep badly enough that he or she would kill to keep the secret. She has always been clumsy, but after a series of near misses, she realizes that someone is trying to kill her -and that someone is a member of London's upper crust society.
Will she find the killer in time? Can she keep food on her table and a roof over her head in the meantime to survive? While there is humor in this book, there is also a clear message of how difficult it can be to just keep a roof over your head and survive in hard times.
