The Countess of Prague introduces Beatrice von Falklenburg, affectionately known as Trixie, who embarks on a ten-book investigative journey across Europe from 1904 to 1914. Set against the backdrop of significant historical events, including the assassination of the Archduke in Sarajevo, Trixie's story reflects the societal changes of her time. Born to a noble Czech father and an English mother, Trixie transitions from a sheltered aristocrat in a strained marriage to a more liberated figure. At 28, she navigates high society while growing distant from her husband, still too conventional to seek a lover. When the body of an old man, once under her military uncle's command, is discovered in the Vltava River, Trixie steps into the role of a detective. Her investigations allow her to mingle with royalty while maintaining connections to everyday people. This new role transforms her interactions with servants and officials, leading to unexpected encounters, including a surprising meeting with her butler. Trixie even goes undercover as a young man on a train to Paris and London. Ultimately, her journey takes her to Marienbad, where a notable meeting between Edward VII and Kaiser Wilhelm sets the stage for unfolding mysteries.
