About this listen

While on a visit to London, American genealogist Jefferson Tayte’s old friend and colleague dies in his arms. Before long, Tayte and a truth-seeking historian, Professor Jean Summer, find themselves following a corpse-ridden trail that takes them to the Royal Society of London, circa 1708.

What to make of the story of five men of science, colleagues of Isaac Newton and Christopher Wren, who were mysteriously hanged for high treason?

As they edge closer to the truth, Tayte and the professor find that death is once again in season. A new killer, bent on restoring what he sees as the true, royal bloodline, is on the loose…as is a Machiavellian heir-hunter who senses that the latest round of murder, kidnapping, and scandal represents an unmissable business opportunity.

The Last Queen of England is a racing thriller with a heart-stopping conclusion. It follows on from In the Blood and To the Grave but can be enjoyed as a stand-alone novel.

I loved the plot, the narrator and the atmosphere of the story. A great read for anyone interested in genealogy and the surprises it can turn up.

Another great story.

I am a bit disappointed in this story. I have read the first two books and really enjoyed them but this one had so much rushing about everywhere and gunfights on the streets that I got a bit tired with the violence. Having said that, I thought the reader was very good and I hope the next book in the series will be a bit better.

A bit disappointing

I have enjoyed this audible version as much as I enjoyed reading the book itself.
The audible version gave me a different insight to the story as well.

I love this series of books by Steve Robinson, as I have an interest in genealogy it makes it that more exciting for me. The narration by Simon Vance is superb as usual, he is without doubt my favourite narrator.

Gripping stuff

If you love history and mysteries then this is a good series for you
Excellent story lines if a little convoluted. A hero who knows his subject who gets thrown out of his comfort zone and into a thrilling race against time

Where does The Last Queen of England rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Well I didn't think it possible. But I am pleased to say that Steve Robinson just gets better and better..... Each and every book This being number 3.

What did you like best about this story?

There are just so many twists and turns, meaning that you are kept on the edge of your seat if not hanging off of it with every minute!!!!

Which scene did you most enjoy?

From the first to the last, each scene getting you deeper and deeper in to the plot and fantastic story.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Hell yes!! it almost cost me my job as you just can't find a suitable place to stop.

Any additional comments?

This is a action pack adventure that will have you guessing all the way along. It has no real bad language and very little gore. but is a real must for all those thriller fans out there. Well worth a go.

Full of mystery

Another excellent book by Steve Robinson. Story twists and turns as one clue is discovered that leads to another. This one leaves you on a cliff hanger......Jefferson's family

Great story

This is the first book I have read not realising that it was no3!! Wish I had started at the beginning. Loved it so nice to read something with people who are not perfect! Great story can't wait for the next.

Wonderful!

Although the premise was excellent and the genealogical trail really interesting, it seemed like one long action sequence with Tate and Jean being chased in taxis, on foot and on motorbike through the streets of London. Don't get me wrong, it was a good story and I listened to the end, but too much like a common blockbuster movie with chases, guns and murders making the pace rather than the one aspect that sets the series apart from all the others in the same genre - the intelligent, absorbing and fascinating genealogy driving the story forward.

Too long an action chase, not enough subtlety.

What an excellent example of a “who dunnit” novel.
The story is set in recent times but includes interesting and factual matter from English past. With a genealogical basis the reader is held captive to the timeless question who, but also why and how, right to the end.
Well worth the read or listen on audible.

Enthralled to the end
