The Secret Guests by Benjamin Black
3.0

This book took longer to read than any Benjamin Black book I have read mainly due to its lack of plot. It takes place during the London Blitz when the 2 princesses are taken to stay at Clonmillis Castle in Ireland guarded by Strafford, a police detective and one lady police woman. Strafford spends most of the book battling a case of flu while the lady has a 1 night stand with another police detective sent to make sure everything else is in order. An IRA plot to kidnap the girls is in motion towards the end of the story when there is some shooting and that's about it. Nice writing though throughout.
