SJ Bennett was born in Yorkshire and travelled the world as an army child. She had a varied career before her first novel was published when she was 42. Since then, her books have won awards, been optioned for TV, and have been translated into over 20 languages. She was once asked to interview for the role of Assistant Private Secretary to the Queen and still considers it the job that got away. A curious royal watcher for many years, she lives in London, where she can often be found haunting its palaces, museums, galleries and libraries. She currently writes the 'Her Majesty the Queen Investigates' series. You can find her on Instagram @sophiabennett_writer and on Twitter @sophiabennett.

S.J. Bennett's series of crime novels featuring the Queen as amateur sleuth are more than tributes to a widely loved and admired monarch. They are absorbing murder mysteries full of character, wit, and a healthy dose of human insight. Affectionate and utterly charming
