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

Product Information

Sheer entertainment… Bennett infuses wit and an arch sensibility into her prose… This is not mere froth, it is pure confection. 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.

And, as if all this post-Brexit referendum \ presidential election turmoil wasn’t enough for a Queen to concern herself with; it turns out there are more immediate concerns closer to home. Al ser la segunda parte, ya tenía un poco más ajustadas las expectativas en cuanto a cómo iban a ser la narración y el ritmo (más pausado y menos acción que en otros libros similares), con lo que he podido sumergirme de lleno en la historia y en el misterio. Another player on their team is retired Detective Billy MacLachlan, who is privy to much of the gossip that swirls around the palace through his connections to other retired Royal personnel. John Medina, the CIA's Black Ops specialist, works in the shadows of the government's deadliest missions.

The Queen wants her painting back, and she asks her Assistant Private Secretary Rozie Oshodi - an attractive, ex-army, Anglo-Nigerian woman who's clever and discreet - to find out how the artwork came to be in the hands of the Royal Navy. Het mysterie zit sterk in elkaar en terwijl je gedurende het boek ook nog wat leert over het beheer van de koninklijke kunstcollectie en de verschillende afdelingen binnen het paleis, moet je goed blijven opletten om alle uitgezette lijntjes te kunnen volgen, totdat ze mooi bij elkaar komen. This is the follow up to SJ Bennett's The Windsor Knot, the start of this series which is based on the premise that Queen Elizabeth II is a sleuth to be reckoned with, she has been solving mysteries for years, all below the radar. The mystery at play here was much more involved and multi-faceted than that of THE WINDSOR KNOT (so, potentially a smidge more confusing and seemed to take a bit longer to wrap up), but HM and Rozie were so perfectly on point that I didn’t even mind.

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. I was very disappointed when I received this book, but so disappointed that it is the same story from beginning to end of previous book a three dog mystery.A referendum divides the nation, a tumultuous election grips the United States - and the body of a staff member is found dead beside Buckingham Palace swimming pool. Sophia wrote a series of YA novels before turning to adult crime, and her books have won the Chicken House prize and the RNA Romance Novel of the Year. What starts out with the Queen identifying a favourite sentimental painting which has been missing for 50 years from her personal collection leads into murders and the uncovering of a long-running fraud and theft ring at Buckingham Palace.
