All the Queen's Men: A Novel (Her Majesty the Queen Investigates Book 2)

Product Information

The suspense part was okay but I didn't like that he put her in a dangerous situation just to spend time with her. Although the book opens in October, when Sir Simon Holcroft, the Queen’s Private Secretary, finds a body at the swimming pool in the palace, there’s an incident three months earlier that triggers the story. There was a scene that I don’t think needed to be there or at least I don’t feel like it needed to go as far as it did, but it ends up working by making Niema and John finally tell each other how they feel. My favorite part of the book however, is when Niema and John are in Ronsard's office completing their mission, and they see Ronsard heading towards the office on the security monitor, and they have to act fast. And, soon after the paintings disappearance has been discovered, the body of a staff member is found beside the Palace swimming pool.

This time it’s a picture of the Royal yacht Britannia (sp) and a murder around the pool that bring Rozie and her majesty the Queen on the case.Amateur detective Queen Elizabeth II is back in this hugely entertaining follow-up to the bestseller The Windsor Knot, in which Her Majesty must determine how a missing painting is connected to the shocking death of a staff member inside Buckingham Palace. Rozie doesn’t desire to leave her job or be murdered, so she must persevere in the face of these scare tactics and keep investigating for the Queen to find out who is behind them. Her husband Dallas was on a mission with her and John one day and he ends his life on a mission, to them, for a good cause. But i'm a bit torn on the mmc I'm not sure if i liked the him or not😭 some of the things he said and did, to put it lightly, were questionable.

If anyone doubted that Queen Elizabeth could be a detective, they only need to pick up The Windsor Knot or All the Queen’s Men. Once again there is a large secondary cast of very dispensable and forgettable characters who make fleeting appearances and don’t make much of an impression. Whilst I didn’t think the first book was hugely compelling I found it gently entertaining and felt Bennett did an excellent job with her characterisation of the Queen. When the Queen and Rozie find clues, Queen Elizabeth subtly points the police and her inner circle of male advisors in the right direction. The other department of the Royal Household (there are five main ones) featured is the Royal Collection Trust, which is responsible for the care and cataloguing of all the Royal artwork.Prins Philip is altijd al haar klankbord geweest en nu heeft ze ook echt een bondgenoot en vertrouwenspersoon gevonden in Rozie, die een steeds grotere rol krijgt. The plot is a long slow build up of two people going undercover to get information from an arms dealer in France.

And, as the Queen is the main character, there is the overriding issue of how older or “old” people are dismissed in their contributions to or understandings of situations. A missing painting, a spate of poison-pen letters to palace staff and the dead body of the head housekeeper found beside the palace swimming pool. Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). Karalienė Elžbieta II nerūko, todėl turime „trijų šūnų bylą“ – kol jos protas ieško atsakymų, karalienė išveda pasivaikščioti savo tris korgius (ok, pagal faktą iš tų trijų koreis tik vienas, kiti du trumpos ir neleistinos takso ir korio aistros vaisiai, bet esmės tai nekeičia, ane? That takes a generosity that I don't think I have, to let someone else take credit for your ideas and footwork.I felt like I was reading the same book with the same characters, only they had different names and the book had a different title. I read it fairly quickly, mostly because I was loving the pacing, the plot, and of course, the characters!

The Queen must deal with the fallout from the Brexit referendum, a new female prime minister, and a tumultuous election in the United States--yet these prove to be the least of her worries when a staff member is found dead beside the palace swimming pool.In this delightful and suspenseful whodunit, author SJ Bennett pulls off the prodigious feat of transforming Queen Elizabeth into an amateur detective. It’s a delightful, charming mystery in which Her Majesty proves herself to be just as astute and no-nonsense as we always imagined. This is light fun, a bit longer than “The Windsor Knot” and somewhat more convoluted but an enjoyable read. Whilst your initial impressions of a monarch might not include solving crimes; this reigning monarch has a wonderful array of sleuthing abilities! We get to see her in her natural habitat when she visits her family and also see her desire for nice things when she goes to the Cotswolds one weekend to interview a former palace functionary.
