À propos de cet audio
The first book in a highly original and delightfully clever crime series in which Queen Elizabeth II secretly solves crimes while carrying out her royal duties.
It is the early spring of 2016 and Queen Elizabeth is at Windsor Castle in advance of her 90th birthday celebrations. But the preparations are interrupted when a guest is found dead in one of the Castle bedrooms. The scene suggests the young Russian pianist strangled himself, but a badly tied knot leads MI5 to suspect foul play was involved. The Queen leaves the investigation to the professionals—until their suspicions point them in the wrong direction.
Unhappy at the mishandling of the case and concerned for her staff's morale, the monarch decides to discreetly take matters into her own hands. With help from her Assistant Private Secretary, Rozie Oshodi, a British Nigerian and recent officer in the Royal Horse Artillery, the Queen secretly begins making inquiries. As she carries out her royal duties with her usual aplomb, no one in the Royal Household, the government, or the public knows that the resolute Elizabeth will use her keen eye, quick mind, and steady nerve to bring a murderer to justice.
SJ Bennett captures Queen Elizabeth's voice with skill, nuance, wit, and genuine charm in this imaginative and engaging mystery that portrays Her Majesty as she's rarely seen: kind yet worldly, decisive, shrewd, and most importantly a great judge of character.

That last part is important because Lilah’s father has just retired and left her in charge of Stohler’s Funeral Home. But Abel Stohler knows his daughter’s comfort level rests “downstairs”, so he hires one Sparkle Lee Sink to help Lilah manage the living part of the business of death.

Histoire
Victorian London was notorious for its pickpockets. But in the country houses of the elite, gentleman burglars, art thieves and con men preyed on the rich and titled. Wealthy victims—with their pride and reputation at stake—would never go to the police. What they needed was a society insider, one of their own, a person of discretion and finely tuned powers of observation.

In 1895, Antonio Sonoro is the latest in a long line of ruthless men. He’s good with his gun and drawn to trouble but he’s also out of money and out of options. A drought has ravaged the town of Dorado, Mexico, where he lives with his wife and children, and so when he hears about a train laden with gold and other treasures, he sets off for Houston to rob it—with his younger brother Hugo in tow. But when the heist goes awry and Hugo is killed by the Texas Rangers, Antonio finds himself launched into a quest for revenge that endangers not only his life and his family, but his eternal soul.

Heartfelt, powerfully engaging, and in the tradition of Anthony Doerr’s All the Light We Cannot See, this is a work of storytelling bravado: a thrilling action-packed art heist, an imaginative chronicle of forgotten history, and a poignant coming-of-age epic where a child navigates one of the most morally complex fronts of World War II and lives to tell the tale.

Histoire
Four bodies have been discovered along Europe’s riverbanks, placed with care—and completely drained of blood. Pinpricks on their throats indicate a slender murder weapon, but DNA found in the wounds suggests something far more sinister. Tasked with investigating, the FBI recruits Agents Della Hamilton and Mason Carter to Blackbird, an international offshoot of the Krewe of Hunters. If you want to catch a vampire killer, you need agents who can speak with the dead.

An intelligent, gentle and intriguing crime novel
This book really does require some thinking and was a fun read as well. The characters are intelligent and I’m hoping we’ll see them again. I usually read a couple of books at the same time, depending on how I feel. However, once I started this book I needed to keep with it until it was finished.
There is a gentle humour and the Queen is portrayed as the kind of person you’d hope she is.
Jane Copeland’s narration is spot on and her character voices are appropriate and understated.
All in all a highly recommended read or listen.

Great story and performance
This story is clever and thoughtfully done. The author portrays Queen Elizabeth II in a realistic light, with humour and perspective. Lots of little details shows that the author has done quite a bit of research. The narrator does an excellent job with different voices, and I especially like the Queen’s.

Refreshing mystery!
I love the storytelling and the unfiltered love for the queen. It captures a side of her people normally don’t see. I appreciate it is fiction but love to think that it’s based on real life. Not the murders of course but the spunky behaviour of the monarch. Such fun!

Wise Windsor Woman!
A fun read! Gave me a plethora of knowledge about the monarchy, how it functions, and a feeling for our long-serving queen who deserves much praise. This is a intricate novel with a lot of characters. The Queen doesn't disappoint in her adept detective methods and her ability to have various staff work independently of each other. Lots of humour! Our Queen has a keen mind, cares for others and I will stop there because you want to read this delightful crime novel!

Boring
Despite being well read, it was hard to listen to because it was boring. The “reveal” was painful. Though the narrator was good, her inability to say “sir Simon” as two words was annoying. It sounded as though she was stuttering and saying “Sa-Simon” over and over. I finally had to look up the characters to figure out what she was saying. I won’t be buying any more in this series.

Could not keep my interest
The book ended and I realized I have no idea "who done it?" Wasn't engaging enough to backtrack to what I remembered last.
