I listened to the audiobook narrated by Jane Copland. Her voicing was gender appropriate and voice inflections were perfect. Her British accent added to the flavor of the story. What a great listening experience. I highly recommend this book to those who enjoy Cozy Murder Mystery's! The first book in the series, 'Her Majesty the Queen Investigates' features Queen Elizabeth II secretly solving crimes. She's been 'Super-sleuthing' since a teenager. That's a good, long time don't you think? Even better, she's good at it! I loved the idea that Queen Elizabeth, along with a close staff member and confidante, is trying to get to the bottom of a mysterious death at her beloved home, Windsor Castle. Since Her Majesty is an intelligent, well-read woman, it was quite satisfying to hear about her frustrations with one particular patronizing character; Princess Elizabeth also studied art and music, learned to ride, and became a strong swimmer. She won the Children's Challenge Shield at London's Bath Club when she was thirteen.

Queen Elizabeth wakes up to the distressing news that a guest named Maksim Brodsky was found dead in his room.The year is 2016 and the queen is staying at Windsor Castle when a guest is found dead in one of the bedrooms. It appears the Russian pianist strangled himself as part of a um, certain bedroom fetish activity. (I got the giggles when the queen googled the actual term in the story) However, MI5 is convinced foul play was involved. When it appears the case is headed in the wrong direction, the queen enlists the help of her assistant private secretary, Rozie Oshodi, to go seek out the truth about the man's death. Metro Police & MI5 discover Brodsky was critical of Russian President Putin. They are confident Putin is behind this murder. Is there a sleeper agent among the royal servants? The Queen thinks not! Major Shand and the Hon Rosalind Cubitt, the daughter of 3rd Baron Ashcombe, married on 2nd January 1946 at St Paul’s, Knightsbridge. Brimming with history, tradition, fashion, glamour, and culture, the book spans the Queen’s early years rightuntil her passing in 2022.. Along the way, we trace her coming of age during World War II; her marriage, motherhood, and coronation; her encounters with such icons of their age as the Beatles, Marilyn Monroe, and JFK; and her extensive international travels. We visit the spectacular royal palaces and enjoy the infectious celebration of royal weddings and jubilees. We witness the elegance of official portraits, and the intimacy offamily moments.

I loved the insider peek into the world of the monarchy and all the administration that surrounds the Queen. Her new Assistant Private Secretary, Rozie Oshodi, is a fun character to get to know with her trademark high heels. Soon the Queen is sending her to chase down clues to “help” solve the crime. I’m excited that this one is billed as #1 in a series and I can’t wait to see what the new crime is for book #2!
