Description: It is the early spring of 2016 and Queen Elizabeth is at Windsor Castle in advance of her 90^th 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 lead 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.

 
Review: A book with a striking title, but it’s just fiction. A murder is committed in a very special place: Windsor Castle. After a party, one of the guest is found dead in his room. The authorities think that one or more servants are involved in the murder. But Queen Elizabeth disagreed and secretly take the investigation into her own hands. 
It's a delightful story with a mixture of existing and fictional characters. It turns out to be a  warm, funny and exciting book. If you’re a fan of monarchy or when you love murder mysteries, this is the book for you.   
The Queen of England (The Boss) loves to solve mysteries. She started doing this at the age of twelve. Nothing escapes her, she sees things that other people do not. She Knows a lot about a lot of things, has hawk eyes a nose for nonsense and a fantastic memory. She notices things and sees when something is not right. And she then looks for the reason why. 
I really loved the idea and how they gave the murder mystery genre a royal touch. It was such a fun book to read and very original and fresh.
