The royally brilliant fourth book in the Her Majesty the Queen Investigates mystery series! 1957 – Young Queen Elizabeth II is finding her way in a challenging world as the United Kingdom must adjust to having neither an empire nor a set place in post-war Europe. As she travels the world to try and build bridges, the Queen is advised by the 'men in moustaches', as Philip calls them – her father's old courtiers, who may or may not have her best interests at heart. One of them is trying to sabotage her: that much she is sure of. And then two bodies turn up, horribly murdered, in Chelsea, and the Queen finds herself unwillingly used as the alibi for somebody very close to her. Elizabeth knows she can't face these challenges alone. She needs support from someone clever, discreet and loyal, someone she can trust. Then she meets ex-Bletchley Park code breaker, Joan McGraw, and their investigation into the murders begins in earnest

In the wake of a referendum which has divided the nation, the last thing the Queen needs is any more problems to worry about. But when an oil painting of the Royal Yacht Britannia – first given to the Queen in the 1960s – shows up unexpectedly in a Royal Navy exhibition, she begins to realise that something is up. When a body is found in the Palace swimming pool, she finds herself once again in the middle of an investigation which has more twists and turns than she could ever have suspected. With her trusted secretary Rozie by her side, the Queen is determined to solve the case. But will she be able to do it before the murderer strikes again? 

December 2016 – A severed hand is found washed up on a beach next to the Queen's estate at Sandringham. Elizabeth has become quite accustomed to solving even the most complex of murders. And though she quickly identifies the 70-year-old victim, Edward St Cyr, from his signet ring, the search for his killer is not so straightforward. St Cyr led an unconventional, often controversial life, making many enemies along the way in the quiet, rural world of North Norfolk, where everyone knows each other's business. But when a second man is found dead, and a prominent local woman is nearly killed in a hit-and-run, the mystery takes an even darker turn. 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. Or the next victim may be found even closer to home. Agatha Christie meets The Crown in MURDER MOST ROYAL, the much-anticipated third book in the 'Her Majesty The Queen Investigates' mystery series by SJ Bennett – for fans of The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, Agatha Christie and M.C. Beaton's Agatha Raisin

The 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. But the preparations are interrupted when a guest is found dead in one of the Castle bedrooms. The scene suggests the young Russian pianist strangled himself, but a badly tied knot leads MI5 to suspect foul play was involved. The Queen leaves the investigation to the professionals—until their suspicions point them in the wrong direction. Unhappy at the mishandling of the case and concerned for her staff’s morale, the monarch decides to discreetly take matters into her own hands. With help from her Assistant Private Secretary, Rozie Oshodi, a British Nigerian and recent officer in the Royal Horse Artillery, the Queen secretly begins making inquiries. As she carries out her royal duties with her usual aplomb, no one in the Royal Household, the government, or the public knows that the resolute Elizabeth will use her keen eye, quick mind, and steady nerve to bring a murderer to justice. SJ Bennett captures Queen Elizabeth’s voice with skill, nuance, wit, and genuine charm in this imaginative and engaging mystery that portrays Her Majesty as she’s rarely seen: kind yet worldly, decisive, shrewd, and most importantly a great judge of character. 

Это первая книга из серии детективных романов, в которых королева Елизавета II раскрывает преступления, продолжая, разумеется, исполнять королевские обязанности. Происходит все весной 2016 года, незадолго до девяностолетия королевы. В Виндзоре королева устраивает небольшой прием, но утром одного из гостей находят мертвым. Все обставлено так, будто молодой русский пианист задушил себя сам, однако странно завязанный узел наводит на другие мысли. Следственная группа допрашивает самых преданных слуг Елизаветы, но она понимает, что искать виновника преступления надо в другом месте

Это вторая книга из серии детективных романов, в которых Елизавета II в перерывах между исполнением королевских обязанностей раскрывает преступления. Шерлоку Холмсу для того, чтобы распутать сложное дело, нужно выкурить три трубки. А королеве лучше всего думается, когда она выгуливает трех своих собак в саду Букингемского дворца. На этот раз Ее Величество расследует пропажу любимой картины и загадочную смерть горничной. Неужели между этими двумя происшествиями существует причудливая связь?

В третьей детективной истории из серии «Следствие ведет Ее Величество» из-за убийства, совершенного неподалеку от Сандрингема, любимой резиденции королевы, под угрозой оказываются все рождественские каникулы. После шторма на пляже находят человеческую руку и пакет с наркотиками. Руку королева опознает сразу – она принадлежит семидесятилетнему Эдварду Сен-Сиру. А вот вычислить убийцу оказывается не так просто. Под подозрение попадают королевский конюший, недобросовестный управляющий, соседи-аристократы, а также многочисленные родственники жертвы. Ее Величество желает во что бы то ни стало докопаться до истины, даже если убийцей окажется кто-то из ее ближайшего окружения…
