Her Majesty the Queen Investigates puts a fictionalized Queen Elizabeth II at the center of a mystery series. Starting with The Windsor Knot in 2020, each novel presents a murder connected to the royal household or the Queen’s engagements, and Elizabeth quietly works out what happened while her staff and the police chase the wrong leads.

The series has grown to five books, with titles like Murder Most Royal and A Death in Diamonds playing on classic mystery conventions. S.J. Bennett writes the Queen as sharp, observant, and occasionally amused by the people around her, creating a character who feels both regal and surprisingly relatable.
