About this deal
The third Her Majesty The Queen Investigates novel takes us to overwinter at Sandringham, where another mystery awaits.
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. My favourite character is the Queen’s APS Rozy who doesn’t make as much of an impact in this book as she did in the others, but she is still my favourite.Mais um livro que junta um policial aos mais recatados corredores das propriedades da família real britânica. En cuanto al misterio, me ha parecido bastante complejo y bien construido, bastante difícil de averiguar, pero muy entretenido, aunque quizás le sobren algunos callejones sin salido/misterios secundarios y paralelos. O a mí por lo menos me habría bastado con menos. No obstante, ni se me ha hecho largo ni nada por el estilo. Y a pesar de hablar sobre cadáveres y miembros apuntados, el hecho es que es una historia que me hace sentir en paz mientras la leo. Do you see that flat-topped middle finger? He cut off the tip doing some carpentry when he was a teenager. But it's the signet ring, of course….Bloodstone. Quite distinctive. And that carving is of a swan from the family crest. This is the hand of Edward St Cyr.
Obviously events of the last few months have made the story more poignant but it was still an enjoyable read which was amusing in places. An excellent plot and insight into Norfolk and Sandringham that takes you right into one of the Queens' favourite homes. The tragedy was fuelled by the king's refusal to let the crown prince marry his lover, Devyani Rana, who he met in 1989.Best Books Set in the 1920s — from Stories That Shimmer with Champagne and Social Change, to Rip-roaring Reads Covering Crime, Colonialism and Beyond. It is a further adventure concerning our late Queen investigating a murder- this time set on her estate of Sandringham, Norfolk around Christmas 2016. When a severed hand is found on a local Norfolk beach Her Majesty recognises it immediately and resolves to work out what has happened to the rest of the body. This mystery centres around a local aristocratic family, whom the Queen knew quite well many years ago. In fact the victim used to come and play with Charles when he was boy. So there’s a personal connection that makes things a bit awkward but also a bit easier. I kept changing my mind about who the murderer was because of all the red herrings, and only really discovered who it was when the big reveal came!
