I so badly wanted to live this book. Queen Elizabeth solves crimes! Catnip. But instead, the book is much more Queen Elizabeth Has Hunches And Asks Her Staff To Find Things Out For Her. I wish that, as long as we were engaging in this fantasy, the author had gone whole hog and let Lizzie snoop around with a magnifying glass or behave like a proper Poirot anyway.

I wanted an easy read and it was definitely that. I didn't expect the plot to be quite so intensely political, I expected something a lot lighter and more like a cosy mystery. It's incredibly fanciful and I think it would have been better if it was the Queen's first crime-solving experience. I also would have liked more scenes from her point of view, the ones with her and Prince Philip were the best ones.
