My colleague from the branch library sent this to me and I am stumped. Any ideas?

Here's a good mystery for you. Patron remembers reading a book, she thinks it was a paperback, she thought it was Death to the Queen, but that search comes up blank. It's a mystery, really funny, and involves a queen mother very much like the current one in England. It's set in current times. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

The one that comes to mind for me is:

Saving the Queen : A Blackford Oakes Mystery
by William F. Buckley Jr.

Two possibilities: God Save the Queen by Dorothy Cannell which is a
mystery and The Queen and I by Sue Townsend which is listed and satire.

Robin, do you mean "The Queen & I" by Sue Townsend? It is a very funny
account of what would happen if the Royal Family lost their status, and had
to live with "the common people". It is a great book on tape, with Barbara
Rosenblat narrating.

You may be looking for C. C. Benison who has written several paperback
mysteries featuring the Queen and her housemaid - Death at Windsor Castle,
Death at Buckingham Palace, etc.
