My thanks to the author and William Morrow for my gifted advance copy to read and review via NetGalley. I love some good cozy mystery. They're such a great option when I'm in the mood for murder (and I'm always up for a dead body), but not a grisly gory one. I've read cozy mysteries with crimes being investigated by retired detectives, old nosy ladies, writers, bakers, flower shop girls, shoe designers, librarians, cooks, hotel owners...but never the Queen of England herself. So, with such an original starting point, I knew this one would not disappoint. This book is very political, which I guess makes sense since the story revolves around the Queen of England. But I personally don’t like anything political and I was brought out of the story every time there were some political discussions and there were a lot of them. Provide financial and practical support to soldiers, ex-soldiers and their families who are in need.

Overall, The Windsor Knot is a satisfying start to what I think will be a great cozy mystery series. All the Queen’s Men is the second book, and I can’t wait to see what puzzle the Queen will solve next. We think we know her so well, and everybody has an opinion. She was a young queen, an elderly stateswoman, one of the few skirts in a sea of trousers at meetings of world leaders, with more experience than most of them put together.In 1930, Princess Elizabeth gained a sister, with the birth of Princess Margaret Rose. The family of four was very close. I think I speak for my generation when I say that the example and continuity provided by The Queen is not only very rare among leaders but a great source of pride and reassurance.

The Queen | The Royal Family

I adored the idea of a mystery starring Queen Elizabeth as the “person behind the curtain” solving court intrigues and righting the wrongs happening within her palaces. This ingenious first book, that was the catalyst for a new crime series, captured Queen Elizabeth’s essence in all aspects. I loved how S. J. Bennett made this book so real, yet delightful and even funny. If I did not know better, I would have thought that Queen Elizabeth II was really talking and performing her royal duties throughout this book. The essence of the Queen was portrayed in every aspect. I loved The Windsor Knot and wait anxiously for the next book in this series. I highly recommend this book. The Windsor Knot is set to be published in March 2021. Head of our church ,our country and commonwealth, always doing your duties with dignity and respect for others , After Princess Elizabeth became Queen, their third child, Prince Andrew, arrived in 1960 and the fourth, Prince Edward, in 1964. Prince Andrew and Prince Edward were the first children to be born to a reigning monarch since Queen Victoria had her family.

Platinum Jubilee

My greatest sympathy to the Royal family. HRM Queen Elizabeth II was wonderful & had a heartwarming smile that will remain in our hearts. Thank you for being part of our lives. You will always be remembered for the love you had for your family & country. I am confident that your son, King Charles III will make you proud in the same way you did him proud by being the loving mother, grandmother & great-grandmother you were. Rest in peace & sleep well. You've earned your wings & place in heaven. X During a lunch at Guildhall, London, on 4 June 2002, Her Majesty made a speech in which she thanked the nation for their support throughout her reign: The Queen spent her actual birthday meeting the crowds on a walkabout in Windsor before attending a private family dinner at the newly restored Kew Palace, followed by a spectacular fireworks display. author S.J. Bennett has really done her homework! The Queen's actions, reactions and overall mannerisms and speech patterns felt truly authentic! I got warm, fuzzy feelings at the many familiar references to her life: her pony, Emma, several of her corgis, her private chapel at Windsor Castle, the family photos taken by Annie Leibovitz, even to marmalade! These all felt bittersweet, because this particular story was published in 2016 (six years before her death) and occurs around the time of her 90th birthday;

Her Majesty The Queen | The Royal Family

Um es auf den Punkt zu bringen, wäre mein Interesse an der Queen nicht so hoch, hätte ich das Buch abgebrochen, da ich die Aufklärung des Falles uninteressant fand.SJ Bennett was born in Yorkshire, England in 1966, and lives in London. An army child, she grew up travelling around the world. Her first novel was published when she was 42, after a varied career and lots of procrastination. She is the award-winning author of several books for children and teaches and podcasts about writing. The 1st in a new cozy series: Her Majesty the Queen Investigates, the book starts out with a death right at that the beginning, taking place right under the roof of Queen Elizabeth, at Windsor Castle.
