About this ebook
The delightfully clever mystery in which Queen Elizabeth II secretly solves a murder at Buckingham Palace - perfect for fans of The Crown and The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman.
'An honest-to-goodness, laugh out loud, wonder of a book filled with regal delight' - LOVE READING
_________________
Queen Elizabeth II is having a royal nightmare.
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.
Is it a tragic accident, as the police think? Or is something more sinister going on?
As Her Majesty looks for answers, her trusted assistant, Rozie, is on the trail of a treasured painting that once hung outside the Queen's bedroom.
But when Rozie receives a threatening anonymous letter, Elizabeth knows dark forces are at work - and far too close to home. After all, though the staff and public may not realise it, she is the keenest sleuth among them. Sometimes, it takes a Queen's eye to see connections where no one else can . . .
Agatha Christie meets The Crown in A THREE DOG PROBLEM, the much-anticipated second book in the 'Her Majesty The Queen Investigates' mystery series by SJ Bennett - for fans of The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, Agatha Christie and M.C. Beaton's Agatha Raisin.

I really enjoyed reading A Three Dog Problem. I haven't read the first book in the series, A Windsor Knot, so wasn't sure whether I would be missing too much information for this book. Luckily, whilst there were references to the previous book, the new one works well as a stand alone read, and everything is explained without the need to read the first. I found the storyline to be a nice mix of light hearted fun around the Queen solving a murder mystery balanced with a well thought out plot line. New information and clues to the circumstances surrounding the death in the palace were gradually introduced at a good pace to keep the reader interested and guessing. Overall I found A Three Dog Problem to be an enjoyable book that is ideal if you want a more light hearted mystery, rather than a darker one. I will look out for other books in the series to follow the Queen in her secret mystery solving side job.

About the author
SJ Bennett wrote several award-winning books for teenagers before turning to adult mysteries. She lives in London and has been a royal watcher for years, but is keen to stress that these are works of fiction: the Queen, to the best of her knowledge, does not secretly solve crimes.
