Camilla, the Queen, is the central figure in her preferred crime novel.
Embrace your inner detective as Queen Camilla takes center stage in British author Peter James' latest novel! This royal treat, titled "The Hawk Is Dead," is set to hit shelves in October, complete with a star-studded cast featuring the monarch herself and her favorite fictional detective, Roy Grace.
The royal train, with Camilla onboard, makes headlines when it derails—but fear not, as this captivating mystery unfolds within the hallowed halls of Buckingham Palace. Roy Grace, our intrepid investigator, is drawn deep into the palace's inner workings to solve a riveting murder[1][2][3].
Queen Camilla's passion for crime novels is no secret. As a book enthusiast, she has championed literature and encouraged young readers through her charity, The Queen's Reading Room. Her admiration for Peter James' work has been well-documented; in 2021, she even graced the set of the TV series "Grace," based on the author's novels[1].
Peter James shared on Instagram that Camilla would grace the pages of "The Hawk Is Dead" along with Roy Grace. To add credibility to the story, James has reportedly conducted extensive research behind the scenes of Buckingham Palace[1]. The book promises a unique blend of royal intrigue, suspense, and the golden touch of a monarch who loves a good mystery.
It seems Queen Camilla is not only a fan of crime novels; she's also part of the action in this exciting new installment. King Charles III is expected to make an appearance, but it's Camilla who steals the show as she delves into the world of crime and mystery[1].

I'm not going to be able to make it to the book launch of "The Hawk Is Dead" featuring Queen Camilla and Roy Grace, but I'll be sure to catch the entertainment provided by the star-studded cast, including celebrities like the royal family members, in the upcoming crime thriller novel. In preparation for the event, I've been reading up on the royal family's affinity for crime novels and their appearances in various books and TV series, especially Queen Consort Camilla's passion for literature and crime fiction.
