About this listen

 1957 - Young Queen Elizabeth II is finding her way in a challenging world as the United Kingdom must adjust to having neither an empire nor a set place in post-war Europe.

As she travels the world to try and build bridges, the Queen is advised by the 'men in moustaches', as Philip calls them - her father's old courtiers, who may or may not have her best interests at heart. One of them is trying to sabotage her: that much she is sure of.

And then two bodies turn up, horribly murdered, in Chelsea, and the Queen finds herself unwillingly used as the alibi for somebody very close to her.

Elizabeth knows she can't face these challenges alone. She needs support from someone clever, discreet and loyal, someone she can trust. Then she meets ex-Bletchley Park code breaker, Joan McGraw, and their investigation into the murders begins in earnest . . .©2024 SJ Bennett (P)2024 Bonnier Books UK Cosy Historical Mystery Traditional Detectives Fiction Detective Heartfelt

love the whole series. Great Characters. I found the process more enjoyable than the discovery of how the murder was committed

This book does not follow on, but goes back in time, perhaps to when the Queen might have started solving murders! The new set of charactors we are introduced to almost makes you think you are starting a new serise. Still with great strong female leads, that help the Queen find the clues to solve the puzzle. Read brillianty again by Samanth Bond.

Have listened to all of these books and they are excellent! Samantha Bond has just the right voice for all of the characters and reads beautifully. Can absolutely see the Queen as a sleuth and can’t wait for the next one!

Great series!

I have enjoyed the previous 3 novels, however this is my favourite. The setting of the story in the 1950’s was an inspiration. More please

I enjoyed this as much as the others in the series (though sad to not find out more of Rosie's story). Now I am desperate to know what is next for Joan. Some fantastic characters and a great plot.

Was also lovely to hear my cousin Kate Vigurs get a shout out for her book Mission France in the afterword. Fantastic surprise.

great cosy crime thriller

The growth of the relationship between the characters is brilliant. I love the queen and Joan. Two great women in a cast of pompous men. I loved it.

Wonderful relationships
