Mallory's Reviews > The Windsor Knot

This was truly a unique premise for a new cozy mystery series. I liked the idea of the Queen of England being the brains behind the mystery solving but her being so stealth as to having to the rather useless official investigators thinking they had achieved it all. (Although that annoyed me since they acted as though the queen couldn’t think at all let alone handle their male greatness and intelligence). I also liked that the story gave some humanizing to the Queen and showed her as both a person and a figure. I do hope there will be more, but I hope that the mystery can be a little more in future volumes. Maybe it was the third party investigating but this mystery seemed a little flat and small although at it’s first introduction it was a bit scandalous. It was certainly creative to have a piano player die at Windsor castle in a dressing gown appearing to have taken part in kinky sex games that left him dead.
