Never did I think I would read a fictional novel about the Queen. Nor did I think it would involve a murder that her majesty tries to help solve. But that is what happens in this book.The queen is ninety eight so no spring chicken. One evening she hosts one of her dinner parties but is alarmed next morning to find that one gust has been found dead in his room - murdered perhaps - with a rope around his neck. But who has done it ? and why ? The police are obviously called to the palace and begin to question all the staff. But the queen has other ideas. She is apparently a super slooth. She has been delving into solving crimes for most of her life. But no one must know. This secret must not get out. She enlists the hep of her secretary Rozie to help her solve this murder mystery and so the hilarity begins. The book is fast paced, totally enthralling and very witty. I found myself laughing out loud on more than one occasion much to the amusement of others in the room
