At our last meeting we spoke about The Windsor Knot, by SJ Bennett. It is relatively recent, from 2020, and is described on Amazon.com as
“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.”
It really was delightful, with the Queen referring to herself as ‘one’ in her mind all the time, falling back on her vast network of connections and pulling the strings behind the scenes.
The second book is already available. It is called A Three Dog Problem, with a wink towards Sherlock Holmes’s three pipe problems. This one takes place in Buckingham Palace, rather than Windsor Castle. Books three and four, set at Sandringham and Balmoral respectively, are already underway. Here is a link to the author’s website.
Now for upcoming books:
30 May Death in a Strange Country by Donna Leon
