A Dead Body For The Queen


Sounds like the title for a good mystery novel but in fact a dead body has been found in the garden on the Estate of Sandringham, the Norfolk retreat of Queen Elizabeth in England. The Queen and her entourage are there enjoying the season. At least they were until now.

So Agatha Christie, where are you? We need your expertise on the case! Morse is gone. Inspector Lewis and Detective Sergeant Hathaway won’t leave Oxford. The DCI Barnabys, both past and present along with DC Ben Jones are small village coppers. Mrs. Bradley can’t be found. Hercule Poirot is in Belgium and Zen is in Italy. Father Brown is in church.

Lord Peter Wimsey, Inspector Alleyn, or Inspector Lynley, the 8th Earl of Asherton and his brilliant partner Barbara Havers could be called. They would fit right in. Wait a minute! Stop the clock, bring out the cell phones and call Rosemary and Thyme……they could solve the crime, catch the killer and then fix any damage done to the garden. Then all Brits can sleep safe in their beds again, even the Queen.
