Author S. J. Bennett headed to the Jubilee Celebrations to share the sequel to The Windsor Knot!

The Book Fairies continue their Platinum Jubilee celebrations with another corker – The Three Dog Problem by S. J. Bennett! This sequel to The Windsor Knot sees Queen Elizabeth II reprise her role of detective after another murder – this time at Buckingham Palace…

About the book:

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?

“Could one bear the staff to have the sight of their monarch appearing clumsily from inside a piece of furniture, bottom first? No, of course not.”

– The Three Dog Problem

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 . . .

S. J. Bennett as Book Fairy for a Day

We were delighted to welcome S. J. Bennett as a book fairy – she found some great spots to leave books! We went to St James’s Park, The Mall, St James’s Palace, Fortnum & Mason’s, The Royal Academy and more – all while the Platinum Jubilee was in full swing!

“Vigour was what he needed. And freshness. Despite his lack of enthusiasm, the Buckingham Palace swimming pool seemed like the best solution.”
