About this listen
The first book in a highly original and delightfully clever crime series in which Queen Elizabeth II secretly solves crimes while carrying out her royal duties.
Narrated by Samantha Bond (Golden Eye, Downton Abbey, Home Fires)
The morning after a dinner party at Windsor Castle, 89-year-old Queen Elizabeth is shocked to discover that one of her guests has been found murdered in his room, with a rope around his neck.
When the police begin to suspect her loyal servants, Her Majesty knows they are looking in the wrong place.
For the queen has been living an extraordinary double life ever since her coronation. Away from the public eye, she has a brilliant knack for solving crimes.
With her household's happiness on the line, her secret must not get out. Can the queen and her trusted secretary, Rozie, catch the killer without getting caught themselves?

"Hilarious, affectionate and so well observed.... I loved it." (Joanne Harris, best-selling author of Chocolat)
"Bracingly fresh yet endearingly familiar, The Windsor Knot gallops along at a cracking pace, is laugh-out-loud funny and completely convincing, peppered with delicious royal detail and in-jokes. Priceless and charming - a jewel in the crown." (Veronica Henry, Sunday Times best-selling author)

Love it!
Good fun. It made me smile. The setting was very well done. It was respectful but different.

An enjoyable story
An enjoyable, easy-to-listen-to story that cleverly combines the real with fiction. Bond’s narration is fun with a good sense of familiar.

A fun tale well narrated
If you are after a challenging read, this possibly isn't the book for you!
This is a delightful holiday read with fun characters and brilliantly narrated.
I was engaged from beginning to end.
I like the idea of the beautiful Queen E II being a sleuth. She definitely had the nouse for it.

insight into Queen Elizabeth ii personality
I particularly enjoyed how SJ brought to life the late Queen's personality. Insights that l hadn't considered. Very touching.

I enjoyed this more than I should
Really enjoyed this one. Agatha Christie with HRM. Samantha Bond was perfect and I'm looking forward to the next one.

Complicated and convoluted storyline
While I quite enjoyed the story, you really need to pay attention. So many characters and backstories. The narrator is excellent and makes the book easy to listen to. Enjoyable but perhaps a second listen would be advisable.

Surprisingly clever
I love a good cosy type mystery, but many mysteries which have real people (dead or alive) as characters can be a little silly or come across as just plain wrong. Not "The Windsor Knot"; intelligent and well written by someone who appears to understand diplomacy and with just the right amount of "Queen" in the story, this is an excellent book. I am looking forward to the next one in this series and getting to know the various characters better. Samantha Bond has the right voice and does a fabulous job of the narration.
