Description

Sheer entertainment Bennett infuses wit and an arch sensibility into her prose This is not mere froth, it is pure confection. New York Times Book Review

[A] pitch-perfect murder mystery If The Crown were crossed with Miss Marple,the result would probably be something like this charming whodunnit. Ruth Ware, author of One by One

The bestselling first book in a highly original and delightfully clever crime series in which Queen Elizabeth II secretly solves crimes while carrying out her royal duties.

It is the early spring of 2016 and Queen Elizabeth is at Windsor Castle in advance of her 90th birthday celebrations. But the preparations are interrupted by the shocking and untimely death of a guest in one of the Castle bedrooms. The scene leads some to think the young Russian pianist strangled himself, yet a badly tied knot leads MI5 to suspect foul play. When they begin to question the Households most loyal servants, Her Majesty knows theyre looking in the wrong place.

For the Queen has been living an extraordinary double life ever since her teenage years as Lilibet. Away from the public eye and unbeknownst to her closest friends and advisers, she has the most brilliant skill for solving crimes. With help from her Assistant Private Secretary, Rozie Oshodi, a British Nigerian officer recently appointed to the Royal Horse Artillery, the Queen discreetly begins making inquiries. As she carries out her royal duties with her usual aplomb, no one in the Royal Household, the government, or the public knows that the resolute Elizabeth wont hesitate to use her keen eye, quick mind, and steady nerve to bring a murderer to justice.

SJ Bennett captures Queen Elizabeths voice with skill, nuance, wit, and genuine charm in this imaginative and engaging mystery that portrays Her Majesty as shes rarely seen: kind yet worldly, decisive, shrewd, and, most important, a superb judge of character.
