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.

As she travels the world to try and build bridges, the Queen is advised by the 'men in moustaches', as Philip calls them - her father's old courtiers, who may or may not have her best interests at heart. One of them is trying to sabotage her: that much she is sure of.

And then two bodies turn up, horribly murdered, in Chelsea, and the Queen finds herself unwillingly used as the alibi for somebody very close to her.

Elizabeth knows she can't face these challenges alone. She needs support from someone clever, discreet and loyal, someone she can trust. Then she meets ex-Bletchley Park code breaker, Joan McGraw, and their investigation into the murders begins in earnest . . .

"A Death in Diamonds" is the perfect blend of a thrilling murder mystery and a fascinating look at Elizabeth II's life and service. I am not particularly interested in the royal family, but I've enjoyed this series immensely.

Charming and thrilling.

This book does not follow on, but goes back in time, perhaps to when the Queen might have started solving murders! The new set of charactors we are introduced to almost makes you think you are starting a new serise. Still with great strong female leads, that help the Queen find the clues to solve the puzzle. Read brillianty again by Samanth Bond.

The latest iin the series in which her late majesty is detective. Sensitive writing and use of a mix of real and fictional events makes it a great read. i look forward to hearing the next audiobook. The narrative is very good and the characters develop nicely. A 5 star rating is well deserved. I recommend it.
