December 2016 - A severed hand is found washed up on a beach next
to the Queen's estate at Sandringham. Elizabeth has become quite
accustomed to solving even the most complex of murders. And though
she quickly identifies the 70-year-old victim, Edward St Cyr, from
his signet ring, the search for his killer is not so
straightforward. St Cyr led an unconventional, often controversial
life, making many enemies along the way in the quiet, rural world
of North Norfolk, where everyone knows each other's business. But
when a second man is found dead, and a prominent local woman is
nearly killed in a hit-and-run, the mystery takes an even darker
turn. With the Christmas break coming to an end, the Queen and her
trusted assistant Rozie must race to discover how the pieces of the
puzzle fit together. Or the next victim may be found even closer to
home.
On a perfect Spring morning at Windsor Castle, Queen Elizabeth II
will enjoy a cup of tea, carry out all her royal duties . . . and
solve a murder. The perfect book for fans of The Crown and The
Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman. 'Like an episode of The
Crown - but with a spicy dish of murder on the side' (DAILY MAIL)

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 . . .
