I loved this book! Not especially deep but a sweet story.

I‘m really enjoying this series - Rozie is great and there‘s something delightful about the Queen solving mysteries. Bennett rounds out her cast of characters nicely, this time with a couple of quirky aristocrats and villagers, and constructs a fun little romp of a mystery.
I really loved this quick read. It‘s not my normal genre but I loved the humour in it and the ending was perfect!
My reading buddy. Keeping me company this morning. She loves sitting on her humans laps
Will start reading this ebook tonight.
11-8-23: My 94th finished book of 2023! Book 3 in the series about Queen Elizabeth II being a secret sleuth. I‘m this story, the Queen is spending Christmas at Sandringham, her rural retreat, when an old acquaintance and family friend goes missing. With the help of her assistant personal secretary, Rozie, the Queen gets down to the bottom of things when the police don‘t. This series is a nice reminder of the Queen. ⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣9️⃣4️⃣
Lovely addition to the series; I really enjoy seeing Rozie grow j to the position and it‘s such fun getting (faux) glimpses into the royal household. Additionally, it‘s always such a gentle read that I find it relaxing to meander through the whole mystery.
Thanks to @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks for September‘s #ISpyBingo prompts that lead me to this incredible HF novel❣️I absolutely loved it ♥️Set in dual timelines - 1947, London on the cusp of Queen Elizabeth‘s wedding and 2016, a young woman researching her grandmother‘s past. Even though parts of the story are a bit predictable, I was completely consumed with the story of Ann, Miriam and Heather. Great audio narration 🎧#pearls #WeddingDress
An engaging and quick read.
Before she passed, my Nana told my stepmom that this book reminded her of her life in England just after the war, before she came to Canada. She so identified with Ann's character (thankfully, not with the circumstances surrounding Ann's decisions).
It would not have been a book I'd pick up otherwise, but it was lovely to sit with these women and think of Nana.
