I have discovered the joys of author S.J.Bennett (no relation), who has written four books so far with HM the Queen as a helper in solving murders. They are rather good, Wondered if anyone else has read any of them yet?
I've just finished A death in Diamonds, really quite clever!

I've read them and enjoyed them. A clever concept.

I’ve enjoyed all of the ones I’ve read so far and intend getting the next one. They are an easy read.

The Queen is also a fan of the ‘Grace’ books, by Peter James.

The next one is set in Buckingham Palace.

Think the Queen will get an advance copy.

By ‘The Queen’, I was meaning Camilla, by the way.

Thanks for the thread. I hadn't heard of the books. I have ordered The Windsor Knot, the first one, second hand.
I saw a review likening the books to Richard Osman's. I didn't enjoy his first So I shall see how I get on. smile

I’ve downloaded a sample of The Windsor Knot on to my kindle which will give me a head start. If it’s anything like The Thursday Murder Club I won’t be bothering.

I have just finished " Death in Diamonds" a clever concept and a good read. And I learnt where the word Mews comes from where the posh houses are in London now.

Gogo84, these posh houses were originally stables or carriage houses in London. They then became very trendy to live in. Usually, quite small.
