Having read almost 130 books this year, these lists are so hard to do! So many wonderful books, but here are my top picks in these genres…
My FAVOURITE book was Murder Most Royal by S J Bennett. The Queen investigates a murder. What more do you need to know?! A fabulous book and I loved how the Royal Family were portrayed. Sophia writes beautifully, the Royals are treated with respect and I plan to read all her books.

The other books in this category all received 9.5 out of 10, so it’s hard to put them into any kind of position. My full reviews of each of them are elsewhere on this blog as well as on Goodreads and Amazon, but just to say I highly recommend all of these books.






I’m looking forward to reading more of this genre in 2023.
Happy New Year!
