Royal detecting

As I loved books one and two of this series, it was exciting to read the third. SJ Bennett allowed the Queen a much larger role in the detecting process this time around. It is only natural since the murder occurred to a family member after all. I enjoyed reading about "the family" portrayed in a natural manner. The mystery portion is not as strong as the character portion of this installment--- but that did not detract from my obvious enjoyment over all.
