Murder Most Royal: The brand-new murder mystery from the author of THE WINDSOR KNOT

Product Information

She was once asked to interview for the role of Assistant Private Secretary to the Queen and still considers it the job that got away. Bennett does a terrific job in imagining the members of the royal family, their lives and the dynamics of their relationships with each other at Christmas.

This one,though,was a struggle,it only picks up in the last third, the mystery is pretty predictable and solvable,and it´s only saved by the charm with which the author depicts the Queen and the Royal Family. Considering recent news it is a lovely unintended tribute to Elizabeth II and I really enjoyed the story and setting. However, all holiday festivities were to take a dark turn when Rozie Oshodi informed the Queen that a severed human hand was found washed up in the mudflats at Snettisham Beach.With the Christmas break coming to an end, the Queen and her trusted assistant Rozie must race to discover how the pieces of the puzzle fit together. This is a great example of how an audiobook narrator can contribute to ones experience of a book, in this case, the marvelous Jane Copland. THE ROYALLY BRILLIANT THIRD BOOK IN THE HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN INVESTIGATES MYSTERY SERIES - NOW AVAILABLE IN HARDBACK, EBOOK AND AUDIOBOOK.

I really enjoy this series, it's warm and cosy and heartwarming, and I enjoyed the festive feel to this story. When I tell people about it, that the books have Queen Elizabeth II as the detective, there are many skeptical raised eyebrows.This third book is set at the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017, so not long after the Brexit Referendum and Theresa May is the Prime Minster, which seems like such a long time ago now. Bond does a warm and stellar job in immersing the listener into the royal household and family at the Sandringham estate in Norfolk during the festive season. I know the setting is 2016, but, with the actual Queen's passing in 2022, I wonder what is to become of this series? She was a part of our lives, a highly respected world leader, a famously hard worker, matriarch, animal lover and diplomat. When another man is discovered dead and a local woman is almost killed in a hit and run, the Queen feels obliged to become involved in what turns out to be her most twisted and challenging inquiry yet and which brings danger far too close to home.
