1961 plant Queen Elisabeth gerade ihren Staatsbesuch in Italien an Bord der Britannia, als sie eine schockierende Nachricht erhält: Ein Mann behauptet, vom königlichen Zug aus einen Mord beobachtet zu haben. Nun ist der angebliche Zeuge kein besonders vertrauenswürdiger Zeitgenosse – andererseits wird aber just seit dem Tag des möglichen Mordes ein Freund von Prinzessin Margarets neuem Ehemann vermisst. Der jungen Queen bleibt nichts anderes übrig, als in dieser delikaten Angelegenheit selbst zu ermitteln.

Through guile, moxie, and a smidge of betrayal, Alice has earned her spot as a henchman for The Professor, one of the biggest vils in town. This should be the role of a lifetime, but for Alice, it's merely a means to the paycheck she so desperately needs. When Alice learns The Professor's show is in danger of cancellation, it's time to bend the rules. Alice's plan is big, bold, and seriously dangerous. In this semi-reality town, the consequences if she fails could be all too real. It'll be a miracle if she can pull it off.

Welcome to Big Little City, a semi-reality town where everyone who isn’t already a hero or a villain wants to become one. Well, almost everyone.... Alice just needs to keep her head down, earn her college degree, and then she’ll finally be able to escape this crazy place and find a real job. Too bad a super scary villain just blew up the restaurant where she works and her paycheck along with it!

Selbst ist die Queen: Im humorvollen cosy Krimi "Ein höchst royaler Mord" frönt Königin Elizabeth als Detektivin zum 3. Mal ihrer heimlichen Passion, dem Lösen von Kriminalfällen.

Mancano pochi giorni a Natale e la regina Elisabetta II attende di celebrare le festività in famiglia, come da tradizione, nella tenuta reale di Sandringham; tra cene con figli, nipoti e pronipoti e serate trascorse davanti al fuoco, le vacanze sono da sempre un momento atteso, lontano dall'etichetta e dagli obblighi di corte.

Décembre 2016. Sur une plage du Norfolk, une jeune femme pousse un hurlement : elle vient de voir une main coupée sur le sable.

Il s'agit de Ned St Cyr, une vieille connaissance.

2016. Dronning Elizabeth er på Windsor Castle forud for fejringen af sin 90-års fødselsdag, men festforberedelserne bliver afbrudt af den chokerende nyhed om, at en af gæsterne – en russisk pianist – på mystisk vis er fundet død i slottets gemakker. Alt peger umiddelbart på, at han har hængt sig, men der er detaljer ved sagen, som får efterretningstjenesten MI5 til at indlede en mordefterforskning. Dronning Elizabeth følger med fra sidelinjen, og da mistanken falder på en af hendes loyale medarbejdere, er hun overbevist om, at MI5 er på afveje.

A Buckingham Palace l'autunno del 2016 si prospetta particolarmente gravoso: la regina Elisabetta deve occuparsi di un referendum che ha diviso la nazione, di una Brexit alle porte e di un imponente piano di ristrutturazione della dimora reale. Eppure l'ordine delle sue preoccupazioni è stravolto quando il cadavere di una governante viene ritrovato a bordo piscina.

Alice (that's "Iron" to her followers) is desperate to earn her best friend's forgiveness, keep her villainous boss happy, and stay away from pesky capes.

The scary-as-hell villain has been rampaging through her town, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. Shadow seems unstoppable, but can Alice succeed where the town's greatest hero failed? Her only hope may be in finally learning to rely on her friends. The showdown is going to be bloody.
