What a fun book! Fully grounded in reality but a complete flight of fantasy at the same time. Fiction involving the Queen is not entirely new but this book more than stands up to the fun of Sue Townsend's The Queen and I as well as Alan Bennett's Uncommon Reader.

The Queen as a super sleuth is wonderful, I hope there's more to come.

I loved this book!! I had reservations at first thinking it'd be spoofy a bit like that animated film queen's corgi, but the Queen came across as a realistic loveable character, and the investigation was gripping and logical; I didn't see the end coming until the last few chapters. My only gripe with it was the fact it was set in 2016 so you constantly had to be thinking back to what the political scene was then and who was with whom in the royal family etc. I would definitely read something else by this author, and hope this is just 1 of a series as I enjoyed it so much
