The Windsor Knot by S.J. Bennett

Book 1 in the Her Majesty the Queen Investigates series.

Queen Elizabeth is residing at Windsor Castle shortly before her 90th birthday, hosting a soirée for a select group of guests. But the festivities are marred by the shocking discovery of one of the guest, Maksim Brodsky, a handsome Russian pianist, who is found dead in his room under very compromising circumstances. The police suspect an assassination ordered by Putin, but the Queen disagrees and recruits her Personal Secretary Assistant, Rozie Oshodi, to help investigate and determine what really happened to Brodsky.

Unbeknownst to Rozie and the general public, the Queen is actually an experienced hand at solving mysteries, expertly managing her duties as head of state while discreetly moving the investigation along at the same time without stepping on anyone’s toes. Rozie meanwhile is tasked with doing most of the legwork and rises to the task with a flair that promises very well for future investigations.

A funny, cozy mystery and a loving tribute to the longest reigning British monarch in history, portraying Queen Elizabeth as an intelligent, empathetic, devoted ruler who truly cares for everyone around her, be they family, friends, servants or subjects.
