Murder Most Royal
Christmas at Sandringham is disrupted when a severed hand is discovered and linked to someone known within royal circles. Queen Elizabeth II asks Rozie Oshodi to pursue the truth while family gatherings, local history, and security concerns restrict what can be discussed openly. The case reaches into questions of inheritance, loyalty, and who belongs near the Crown. Festive but suspenseful, this cozy mystery suits fireside reading for anyone who enjoys country estates, royal traditions, discreet investigation, and murder beneath the holiday decorations.
