Reviews
Bennett portrays the perceptive, resourceful Queen--her thought processes, intuitions and actions--with great wit and affection... A fast-moving, spirited and suspenseful plot. Readers will be enchanted by Bennett's inventive portrayal of a deeply engaging icon., The Queen shows a little Sherlock Holmes and a dash of George Smiley. She also charms the reader in all her scenes., In this delightful and suspenseful whodunit, author SJ Bennett pulls off the prodigious feat of transforming Queen Elizabeth into an amateur detective. For those of us who love 'The Crown' but think it should have a little more murder in it, this is perfection. And hopefully the first of many., The Queen is a super-sleuth... Heartwarming and entirely believable... This entertaining novel, written with wit and brio, will appeal to royalists and murder mystery lovers alike., A charming and intelligent entertainment in which the little old lady in a hat, so easy to underestimate, outwits the Metropolitan Police (Scotland Yard), MI5 (the secret squirrels), and various other security services... The plot is complex and suspenseful... The story is well paced, the resolution satisfying., A veritable love letter to England's current monarch... a triumph full of royal tidbits and international high jinks. The pivotal character of Rozie adds just the right note of modernity... Readers will be thrilled... Strongly recommended., [A] warm and witty murder mystery ... A delightful and respectful tribute to Windsor's canniest - and most discreet - amateur sleuth., This version of Her Majesty - shrewd, sensible and inquisitive - has much in common with Alan Bennett's royal creation in The Uncommon Reader, and the resulting book, with its mixture of real and imagined characters, is charming..., The delightful first in a series featuring Queen Elizabeth II as sleuth... Bennett's depiction of the warm, wise, and witty queen and the insights into her royal life are fascinating. Fans of Netflix's The Crown will have fun., [A] pitch-perfect murder mystery... If The Crown were crossed with Miss Marple..., the result would probably be something like this charming whodunnit., SJ Bennett brilliantly sets up the Queen as detective... Our super-sleuth Queen unites sharp intuition and first-class memory with a lifetime of observation to outwit the police and MI5. She is Miss Marple with a crown., Danger, intrigue, royal drama... This whodunit has it all... An imaginative and engaging ride for fans of mysteries and the royal family., Her Majesty, ... unshockable and mystery-savvy, ... uses her long but subtle reach, powers of observation, and decades (and decades!) of sizing up people to solve several crimes... Mystery readers--and royalists, of course--will enjoy their audience with QEII., A must-read for fans of The Crown and Downtown Abbey. Grab a cup of tea and curl up to one of the best mysteries I have had the pleasure to read this year!, The Windsor Knot boasts an intricate storyline, a large cast of intriguing characters--Rozie is particularly memorable--and a fascinating account of the workings of the monarchy. And it will delight mystery devotees and anglophiles alike with Bennett's portrait of Elizabeth--wise and savvy, warm and sensitive., Sheer entertainment... Bennett infuses wit and an arch sensibility into her prose... This is not mere froth, it is pure confection.

Synopsis
"Sheer entertainment... Bennett infuses wit and an arch sensibility into her prose... This is not mere froth, it is pure confection." - New York Times Book Review "[A] pitch-perfect murder mystery... If The Crown were crossed with Miss Marple..., the result would probably be something like this charming whodunnit." - Ruth Ware, author of One by One The bestselling 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 by the shocking and untimely death of a guest in one of the Castle bedrooms. The scene leads some to think the young Russian pianist strangled himself, yet a badly tied knot leads MI5 to suspect foul play. When they begin to question the Household's most loyal servants, Her Majesty knows they're looking in the wrong place. For the Queen has been living an extraordinary double life ever since her teenage years as "Lilibet." Away from the public eye and unbeknownst to her closest friends and advisers, she has the most brilliant skill for solving crimes. With help from her Assistant Private Secretary, Rozie Oshodi, a British Nigerian officer recently appointed to the Royal Horse Artillery, the Queen discreetly 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 won't hesitate to 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 important, a superb judge of character.
