About this listen

 It's 1961 and the Queen is planning her state visit to Italy aboard Britannia. But before she goes, an unreliable witness claims to have seen a brutal murder from the royal train. Did it really happen, and could the victim be a missing friend of Princess Margaret's new husband, Tony Armstrong Jones?

The Queen and her assistant private secretary, Joan McGraw, get to work on their second joint investigation, little imagining that this time it will take them all the way to Venice in a tale of spies, lies and Cold War skulduggery.©2024 S.J.

You’ll love listening to this book. It’s totally believable and at times you have to remind yourself it’s fun fiction. For me it’s nostalgic and really exciting while also giving me laugh out loud scenes of glorious understatement. The plots are intriguing and the dialogue is compelling each character earns their place in the book. The narrator has a quality of voice that truly brings the words alive. My advice, start from the first book, you’ll not be disappointed. Can’t wait to listen to next.

I love this series, this was a particular joy as I had the opportunity to board the Royal Yacht Britannia in 1997 during the handover of Hong King! I felt this featured Her Majesty a bit less but loved Joan and think we need a spin- off series on her!

Another great book!

This would have to be one of my favourite series’. The narration is brilliant the story is so believable that one almost wonders if the Queen wasn’t s sleuth as a side gig 🤣🤣🤣. Alas I have to wait another year for the next book in the series.

I have loved every one of these books, as improbable as they are. S.J. Bennett obviously enjoys writing them and it shows in the delightfully sly humour she inserts in the plot and the dialogue. The twist in this book is ingenious and was totally unpredictable.

Another entertaining story.
