Queen Elizabeth II is having a royal nightmare.
A referendum divides the nation, a tumultuous election grips the United States – and the body of a staff member is found dead beside Buckingham Palace swimming pool.
Is it a tragic accident, as the police think? Or is something more sinister going on?
As Her Majesty looks for answers, her trusted assistant, Rozie, is on the trail of a treasured painting that once hung outside the Queen’s bedroom.
But when Rozie receives a threatening anonymous letter, Elizabeth knows dark forces are at work – and far too close to home. After all, though the staff and public may not realise it, she is the keenest sleuth among them. Sometimes, it takes a Queen’s eye to see connections where no one else can . . .
Agatha Christie meets The Crown in A THREE DOG PROBLEM, the much-anticipated second book in the ‘Her Majesty The Queen Investigates’ mystery series by SJ Bennett – for fans of The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, Agatha Christie and M.C. Beaton’s Agatha Raisin.

Reviews
This book had mixed reviews from the group. Some read it quickly but others struggled to reach the end
We all got a bit confused by all the characters and "lost the plot "a bit so were glad there was a synopsis of what happened when Rozie et al presented their findings to the Queen.
The author managed to convey a believable description of the Queen's private life.
After initially disliking Cynthia Harris, but by the end we were sorry for her and felt she had been manipulated an let down by all the men in her life.
A couple of the group were going to try and find the first book in the series
