Lovely and meandering in the best possible way. Seriously, I‘m not sure how Queen Elizabeth‘s handbags haven‘t gotten some kind of honour for their decades of silent and faithful service. I got oddly emotional at points, especially later in the book (maybe because I personally remember the emotion of those moments). I‘m glad it ended shortly after William and Kate‘s wedding, because I bawled at the end of The Crown and could not handle that again.

GingerAntics This portrays Charles as hard done by and far more innocent in the collapse of his first marriage that is fair. Even though this is written by an American, it still does a wonderful job of telling the story of the late Queen. #SallyBedellSmith #ElizabethTheQueen #ElizabethII 1w

Murder Most Royal (Her Majesty the Queen Investigates 3), by S.J. Bennett (2022)

Premise: Her Majesty‘s Christmas celebrations are interrupted by the discovery of a severed hand on the beach near her Sandringham Estate, a hand bearing a signet ring she instantly recognizes.

Review: This is another solid entry in this charming series. The Christmas vibes were fun, and the setting of the end of 2016 added an interesting element to the story.

I enjoyed just how the author portrayed the Queen‘s humanity in this book.She was quite likable to me & had me rooting for her! It‘s 1957, & Queen Elizabeth,new at her royal role,suspects someone among her father‘s courtiers intends to sabotage her reign in public.2 bodies are discovered in Chelsea that are possibly linked to her monarchy. She asks an ex-code breaker to help her unravel the truth. #serieslove2025 #4

kspenmoll @Bookwormjillk I have #1 in my TBR but not the others, so I am reading out of order. I got this #4 thru Libby. There is a #5 being published this year. 3mo

4⭐️ A heartwarming Christmas story. I particularly enjoyed the cameos of the late Queen and her husband (I had images of Claire Foy and Matt Smith in my head, whenever the Queen and the Prince were in scenes). #2025 #fiction #christmas #holiday #romance

I thoroughly enjoyed this heartwarming Christmas themed book. Just an all round great read. Queen Elizabeth II has a cameo role as does Prince Philip. A lovely, gentle story.

I savored this one. I enjoyed the peripheral story lines and how the characters intersected independently with the royal family. The will they/won't they stressed me out throughout. I am too impatient for that kind of thing, so I tend to power through so I can get to the best part.
