Love this series!  This time we get to see the monarch when she is much younger, and the dynamics around her office are much different.  She continues to be a delightful character, and I’m sure the author has a lot of fun exploring the inner life of the Queen.  I enjoyed the mystery very much.  Cleverly written, as usual!

I’ve enjoyed this series but I found the first half of this book pretty slow.

This one was interesting and significantly different than the first two.  It is a nice spin to go back to the young QE.  I just did not find the mystery quite as enjoyable to follow as the first two books.
