The delightfully clever mystery in which Queen Elizabeth II secretly solves a murder at Buckingham Palace, expertly narrated by Samantha Bond (Golden Eye, Tomorrow Never Dies, Die Another Day, Downton Abbey, The Queen and I, The Queen, Home Fires)

Queen Elizabeth II is having a royal nightmare.

A referendum divides the nation, a tumultuous election grips the United States - and the body of a staff member is found dead beside Buckingham Palace swimming pool.

Is it a tragic accident, as the police think? Or is something more sinister going on?

As Her Majesty looks for answers, her trusted assistant, Rozie, is on the trail of a treasured painting that once hung outside the Queen's bedroom.

But when Rozie receives a threatening anonymous letter, Elizabeth knows dark forces are at work - and far too close to home. After all, though the staff and public may not realise it, she is the keenest sleuth among them. Sometimes, it takes a Queen's eye to see connections where no one else can . . .

This book is such a treat - beautifully written, exquisitely narrated, full of masterfully crafted characters, the narrative voice gentle yet razor-sharp. I've never cared much for the royal family but SJ Bennett managed to draw such a fascinating portrait of the Queen, her family and the hordes of people working for 'the Firm' that I am now quite intrigued. Most enjoyable and highly recommended!

Exquisite! Well written and flawlessly read!

This is a series l hadn't heard before, l am very happy to have found it..it flows. Well with lots of intrigue and bodies. These are 'nice' not sordid or in your face. I wonder if the queen has ever read/ heard these books, l am sure she would be amused.Beautifully read by Samantha Bond who managed to really convey the feeling of real characters. Looking forward to the next in series.

This is the second book in the series and the second I’ve read. I’ve found them hugely enjoyable; different, well paced and told, exciting at times and with relatable characters, unlikely though that may sound.

I’m well aware that it’s fiction, but I feel it gives some insight into someone (HM the Q) who has very little down time, very little privacy and who is restricted, both by protocol and prudence, to saying little more than, ‘oh dear’ and ‘how interesting’, and therefore being able to express very little. I don’t think there are many of us (witness social media) who could practise that level of restraint & self control for a day, never mind a long lifetime & with all the background & historical knowledge the Queen (real or fictionalised) must have. Thought provoking, as well as fun.

There are so many twists and turns in this story that one has to keep listening to stay adrift of the plot..
