The Heir (A Young Queen Victoria Mystery)

Rich with royal intrigue, this compelling mystery stars none other than young Princess Victoria, future Queen of England, as a rebellious sleuth who vows to solve the mystery of a dead man scandalously discovered on the grounds of Kensington Palace—by her . . .

The young Victoria remembers nothing but Kensington Palace. Arriving as a baby, she has been brought up inside its musty walls. Others may see the value of Kensington’s priceless artifacts and objets d’art, but for her, the palace is a jail cell. Raised under an incredibly strict regimen, watched at all times by her mother, the controlling, German-born Victoire, and Victoire’s prized advisor, the
power-hungry Sir John Conroy, the bright 15-year-old is allowed no freedom—except that which she steals or wheedles for, always in the company of Conroy’s resentful daughter, Jane.

But one fateful afternoon, Victoria slips away to ride her beloved gelding, Prince. With reluctant Jane in tow, the princess gallops out from the palace green. But what would normally be an uneventful trot around familiar terrain presents the mutinous princess with a most bewildering sight—a dead man, and on the grounds of the palace, no less.

Determined to get to the bottom of the inscrutable puzzle, young Victoria is met with shocking disrespect and numerous obstacles. Sir John lies to her, and her uncles and aunts join with her mother to stonewall her questions and curtail her movements. But Victoria will not be deterred. With Jane as a tentative and untrustworthy ally, Victoria’s first “case” is underway . . .
