Welcome to Litsy!

God bless kindles for getting me through long evenings of sitting holding my toddlers hand in the dark whist he falls asleep!

Hmm, I‘m not too sure.

On one hand, the Queen discretely solving murders, with the help of her young assistant private secretary, is still a lot of fun. The author loves (some of) her royals! And who doesn‘t like a bit of art crime?

On the other 😕lots of things. The plot got more than a little convoluted. A whole host of heavy themes were in here, not all of them managed well. And it needed more dogs!

I *may* or may not read the next one!

The second in the series where the Queen is investigating a possible murder. It is a lovely read, very witty and charming.

Really enjoyed this one. My second by this author. It‘s a great murder mystery with a royal twist

After reading Olga Dies Dreaming I needed a light, entertaining read. I knew this series would provide it and I stayed up way past my bedtime to finish it.

This is my Waterstones order, all were half price and I really had to stop myself ordering more. The bottom two books are signed too.

S J Bennett is really finding her stride with these. You completely feel like you‘re getting behind the scenes at Buckingham Palace and the Queen‘s antics. And the Corgi‘s of course! Highly recommended sequel.

The Queen is very busy, there is a lot going on, close to home there is a referendum, in the USA they have a big election and now all she needs on top is a dead body in the Palace pool but that's what she gets!
A Palace worker has bled to death by the pool.
The Queen is already on the case, ably assisted by her sidekick Rozie Oshodi.
The police believe its an accident but the Queen is suspicious so the pair set out to investigate.

An exciting story and some very interesting characters. Based on the British Royal Family and their fictional members of staff. When there is trouble at the palace, the Queen and one of her staff investigate what has been going on behind the scenes . The troubles include a murder, poison letters, a stalking and a missing painting from the Queens own collection.
