Summary
As she travels the world to try and build bridges, the Queen is advised by the 'men in moustaches', as Philip calls them - her father's old courtiers, who may or may not have her best interests at heart. One of them is trying to sabotage her: that much she is sure of.
And then two bodies turn up, horribly murdered, in Chelsea, and the Queen finds herself unwillingly used as the alibi for somebody very close to her.
Elizabeth knows she can't face these challenges alone. She needs support from someone clever, discreet and loyal, someone she can trust. Then she meets ex-Bletchley Park code breaker, Joan McGraw, and their investigation into the murders begins in earnest . . .

A Death in Diamonds
love the whole series. Great Characters. I found the process more enjoyable than the discovery of how the murder was committed

A Death in Diamonds
This book does not follow on, but goes back in time, perhaps to when the Queen might have started solving murders! The new set of charactors we are introduced to almost makes you think you are starting a new serise. Still with great strong female leads, that help the Queen find the clues to solve the puzzle. Read brillianty again by Samanth Bond.

Great series!
Have listened to all of these books and they are excellent! Samantha Bond has just the right voice for all of the characters and reads beautifully. Can absolutely see the Queen as a sleuth and can’t wait for the next one!

Thoroughly enjoyed A Death in Diamonds by SJ Bennett! Meticulously researched, and definitely my fave so far! Had a great plot, captured the period with skill!

Wonderful relationships
The growth of the relationship between the characters is brilliant. I love the queen and Joan. Two great women in a cast of pompous men. I loved it.

Portrayal of the period and credible plot together with great characterisation.
I loved the reverence for the much beloved Queen especially so soon after her death.
The reading and dramatisation by Samantha Bond maintains the fun, the dignity and tge thrills and spills of the plot.
Thank you

Excellent
I have enjoyed the previous 3 novels, however this is my favourite. The setting of the story in the 1950’s was an inspiration. More please
