Sinossi
È un mite inizio di primavera al castello di Windsor e la regina Elisabetta si sta preparando per le celebrazioni del suo novantesimo compleanno. Le attività tuttavia sono bruscamente interrotte non appena il giovane pianista russo che ha deliziato gli ospiti la sera precedente viene ritrovato cadavere, completamente nudo, appeso in camera sua con la cintura della vestaglia. Quando le indagini si concentrano sulla servitù, la regina capisce che la polizia sta seguendo la pista sbagliata. Con l'aiuto dell'inesperta ma solerte assistente Rozie Oshodi, appena assunta dopo una breve carriera come bancaria e tre anni trascorsi nella reale artiglieria, Sua Maestà decide di vederci chiaro, dando finalmente spazio alla grande passione che coltiva segretamente fin da ragazzina, quella dell'investigazione.

Zunächst hat mich natürlich die Idee hinter dem Buch sehr angesprochen: die Queen persönlich ermittelt in einem Mordfall! Das klingt spannend und schräg. Der Beginn ist dann auch sehr vielversprechend. Ein wirklich interessanter Mord, bei dem absolut unklar ist, warum das Opfer hat sterben müssen - Leggi tutto

2.5 stars. I was actually very excited to read this book based on what the synopsis said. I love a good cozy mystery thriller. But unfortunately this book fell flat for me. Though I enjoyed some parts of the book, the majority of the book made me feel underwhelmed and lukewarm. I liked the royal sett Leggi tutto
