Synopsis
When housemaid Jane Bee accompanies the Royals on their annual Christmas jaunt to Sandringham, she believes she s in for a bit of a snooze. Aside from her regular duties, there s nothing much to do in the wilds of Norfolk, until the body of a woman turns up in the village hall a woman who just happens to be a dead ringer for the Queen, right down to her glittering crown.
While the royal bodyguards tighten their security and the police concentrate their efforts on a notorious animal rights group, Her Majesty bids Jane to do her own discreet digging. But when Jane learns the origin of the dead woman s tiara, she finds herself suddenly unstitching an upstairs/downstairs tapestry of indiscretions going back fifty years. And then a second brazen murder occurs in the very heart of Sandringham House, and it looks like the coming New Year could be more horribilis than any yet."
