The Windsor Knot by S. J. Bennett

It's spring 2016, and Queen Elizabeth II is at Windsor Castle just before her 90th birthday celebrations are to begin. But preparations are interrupted when an overnight guest at the castle is found dead in one of the bedrooms. Is is suicide, death by misadventure, or murder? The queen enlists her Assistant Private Secretary, Captain Rosie Oshodi, a British Nigerian and captain in the Royal Home Artillery, to help her investigate.

This is a delightful mystery, offering a wonderful portrait of the queen when not about her public duties:  intelligent, kindly, decisive, and a good judge of character. It also offers a peak behind the curtain at life and work in one of the royal residences. The corgis make a few appearances. First of a new series, there are more mysteries to come for the queen and Rosie to solve.
