Queen Elizabeth II, with the help of her assistant Rozie, investigates the death of a young pianist that took place in Windsor Castle.
This is a quirky sort of cozy mystery, and I enjoyed the many humorous moments and the warmth with which the queen was portrayed, even though I am fairly neutral on the subject of the royals. However, I thought the other characters, including Rozie, were not as fleshed out. I also did not really like that the mystery tended into political intrigue, as it made the climactic scene of the reveal not very engaging.
