A Toast To Trouble (A Right Royal Cozy investigation Mystery): A female amateur sleuth whodunnit with a hint of humour

Before they were sleuthing partners, he was her number one suspect… Heiress Lucinda Hamilton Prepares to Turn 30 Lucinda’s exclusive birthday party is taking place at Francis Court, the home of Charles Astley (59), the Duke of Arnwall, and his wife, Her Royal Highness Princess Helen (58), the sister of King James. Their eldest daughter, Lady Sarah Rosdale (35), who lives on the estate with her family, is organising the prestigious event, along with local party planners, Posh and Fabulous. All is not well in the run up to Lucinda’s party. So when the birthday girl’s custom-built cake is bashed in with a heavy-duty saucepan, it’s clear someone is out to sabotage the event. Is it an attack on Francis Court’s reputation? A bid to ruin the prestigious event planners Posh & Fabulous? Or is the culprit driven by a personal vendetta against the high-maintenance birthday girl? Busy with trying to fix the damage already done, Sarah asks her younger sister, Lady Beatrice, to find the culprit. As the disasters pile up, Bea starts to suspect someone on the inside… But is it Perry Juke, Sarah’s newly promoted executive assistant, who has told Sarah he will find the troublemaker? With Perry and Bea working against each other, can they still save the party—or will it be ruined beyond repair along with Francis Court’s reputation as a gold-standard venue?
