Something’s Afoot in the Castle …
In The Windsor Knot, Queen Elizabeth is at Windsor Castle in advance of her 90th birthday celebrations. The preparations are interrupted when a guest, a young Russian pianist, is found dead in one of the castle bedrooms.
… Her Royal Highness Asks Herself: ‘Whodunit?’ …
Suspecting foul play and dissatisfied with the investigation, the Queen decides to discreetly take matters into her own hands.
… Was It the Butler? — If So, Which One?
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 in a mystery that will satisfy thriller aficionados and royal family fans alike.
