About this listen

Intrigue and scandal threaten to rock the monarchy in wartime Britain...

Windsor, 1943. Britain is in the grip of war and treachery is afoot. The body of controversial former courtier Lord Blackwater is found in the abandoned Fort Belvedere, once the country bolthole of the King’s wayward brother. And all signs point to murder.

Royal confidant Guy Harford is called in to solve the mystery quickly and quietly, before any hint of scandal reaches the public. Investigating with the help of Rodie, his roguish burglar girlfriend, his enquiries lead him into the world of the Royal Ballet, where on-stage glamour hides an undercurrent of off-stage deceit. And when the ballet company’s newest recruit turns up dead, it’s clear there’s more to this murder than meets the eye.

Meanwhile, news reaches the Palace that the King’s brother—already under strict orders to stay out of trouble—is threatening to undermine both Crown and country by taking US citizenship.

Harford must do his royal duty. It’s up to him to catch the killer and save the monarchy from crisis in wartime. Before any more heads roll...

Critic reviews

“Listeners will relish Joel Froomkin's exemplary narration of this exciting WWII mystery featuring the British Royal Court.… Indeed, Froomkin brings versatility, emotional depth, and great skill to his varied depictions of male and female characters from all strata of European and American society. Froomkin's range with accents is also impressive. Listeners will have a grand time following Guy and Rodie's adventures.”—AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award Winner

“With the impressive storytelling skills of narrator Joel Froomkin…in a true 'theatre of the mind' listening experience…this simply outstanding 'Royal Mystery' is highly recommended.”—Midwest Book Review
