The Crown meets Clue in this delightful locked-room mystery, sure
to charm Agatha Christie fans and keep readers guessing to the end.
The king is dead. The killer is in the family. Solving this murder
will be a royal pain.
The royal family has gathered at their Scottish retreat, Balmoral
Castle, for a traditional Christmas. As a blizzard gathers outside and a
delicious dinner is prepared, the family circles up for a holiday toast.
King Eric has something momentous to say--in fact, he is about to name
his successor. But as he raises a glass of his favorite whiskey, he
drops dead.
The king has been poisoned, someone in the family must have done it, and
each one of them had opportunity and motive. Eric's beloved head chef,
Jonathan, must now play detective. Why would one of the king's own
family members want to kill him, and how did they do it? What happens in
the castle usually stays in the castle, but this secret might be too big
for these battlements. Jon is determined to expose the truth, even if it
puts him in a killer's crosshairs--and shakes the entire monarchy to its
core.
