A Death in Diamonds

1957 - Young Queen Elizabeth II is finding her way in a challenging world as the United Kingdom must adjust to having neither an empire nor a set place in post-war Europe.

The brilliantly funny and clever fourth book in the critically acclaimed Her Majesty The Queen Investigates mystery series - and the first set in late 1970s London featuring a young Queen Elizabeth II.

THE ROYALLY BRILLIANT FOURTH BOOK IN THE HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN INVESTIGATES MYSTERY SERIES

1957 - A young woman is found dead in a mews house a mile from Buckingham Palace, wearing only silk underwear and a diamond tiara. An older man is discovered nearby, garrotted and pierced through the eye with a long, sharp implement.

According to the police, a high society card game was going on downstairs that night. One of the players surely committed the murders, but each of them can give the others an alibi.

When someone very close to her is implicated, the young Queen is drawn into the investigation.

A Death in Diamonds by S.J. Bennett promises intrigue, mystery, and a glimpse into royal detective work.
