Murder Most Royal

Don’t go there if your ideal holiday is the nightclubs of Mykonos. Do go there if your idea of the perfect beach is something vast and windswept and almost empty, until visited by a thousand wading birds. The county is also home to lots of fictional detectives – some of which may already be favourites of yours – and I hope my royal sleuth fits right in.

My interest was piqued by the question of who owns our countryside, who else loves it and how do they get along? When I started researching, rewilding was a niche topic that few people I spoke to knew about. Now it’s everywhere, and I challenge you to find a British aristocrat who isn’t trying it out.

I was also fascinated by the country’s houses great and small. I have invented Abbotswood and Ladybridge Hall, and had a lot of fun doing so, but Sandringham House is available to visit. You can even stay in the old head gardener’s cottage or an old water tower on its grounds.

Thank you again for reading this book, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the series.

*(My own favourite Norfolk-related detectives include Lord Peter Wimsey, as written by Dorothy L Sayers, whose ancestral seat of Bredon Hall was in Norfolk, and Ruth Galloway, the archaeologist from the fabulous modern series by Elly Griffiths. I highly recommend both.)
