A cosy style murder mystery with the Queen playing detective. When a guest is found murdered in his room after a dinner party at Windsor Castle, Her Majesty and her sidekick/secretary, Rozie, decide to investigate the matter with interesting results.
I quite enjoyed this tale although I did find the pace somewhat slow. It dragged a little for me in the middle section. I thought it was confusing at times, too, but on the other hand found it different and quite original. I liked the little glimpses into the life of the Queen, albeit fictional. She was well described and I think her personality came over quite clearly, as did Prince Philip’s sense of humour. I think a lot of research must’ve gone into the writing of this book. The story harks back to the golden era of crime and, bearing this in mind, the Queen can only be described as Miss Marple with a crown!
An easy and entertaining little read which should appeal to those who enjoy an old fashioned thriller with a hint of pomp and glory. 3.5⭐️
