As reigning queen, Anne used the King's Apartments at Kensington, while her husband Prince George of Denmark used the Queen’s Apartments. The defence argued that he was incapable of such a sophisticated killing, which involved detailed planning and specialist bullets. a b c Woods, Judith (13 April 2011).

George, who has epilepsy and a mental disability, was arrested in 2000 and found guilty of Dando's murder in July the following year.

George told one neighbour, Kim Ferris, that his wife had left him "to stay with a friend because he was doing his place up". Is there something not quite aboveboard about the Eos Society? And what is the explanation for the burns that were found on Cedric's body during his autopsy? They intrigue Wrexford, the amateur chemist, and he has his thoughts about what may be going on. So this all must be investigated, with lots of possible suspects, lots of red herrings, and even a bit of a Perils of Pauline happening at the end (with a very competent "Pauline"). All in all, it was an enjoyable read for me. At Kensington in the summer of 1704 Anne conceived of a new ‘greenhouse’ with a terrace where she could grow trees and exotic plants in ceramic pots.

Without proper work, George created a number of fictional companies, naming one Xanadu Constructional and Mechanical Engineers. In adverts in the music press, he claimed Jeff Lynne - lead singer of the 70s band the Electric Light Orchestra - was the manager. Victoria was educated almost entirely within the confines of the palace. Her daily programme of lessons, known as the ‘Kensington System’ was judged by some to be harsh. Kent filled it with art and fine furniture, which gave it the refined 18th-century appearance that many of the grand rooms retain today. To the amazement of his family, George married in May 1989. His bride, a 35-year-old Japanese language student called Itsuko Toide, had moved into the flat above him the year before. She has said he "pestered" her into the ceremony at Fulham register office.

Because this case was steeped in those scientific questions, as well as the age-old question about the fine lines between genius and madness, and between interest and obsession. All the red herrings in this one, and there were many, had been electrocuted or charred to a crisp before presentation, making the solution seem just that much farther out of reach. I really love how the friends and family evolved. I already adored the "original" casts of Wrex, Charlotte, Sheffield, as well as the Weasels, Raven and Hawk. But the more the merrier, right? I also enjoyed reading Raven and Hawk bloomed into their own version of young men. Raven with his eyes to details and numbers (he will fit very nicely in the world of science) while his younger brother, Hawk, is taking the mantel of Charlotte with his penchant for art and nature (different eyes for details, Hawk, compared to his brother).

Murder At Kensington Palace is the series third and I’m sorry I didn’t read the first two. The present volume was so satisfying, however, that it made me an insta-fan and regretful not to have discovered it from the get-go. As with Harris, Raybourn, and Ashley, Penrose creates engaging, easy-to-love protagonists. Like Ashley especially, she fashions an irresistible band-of-sleuths ethos, with a circle of friends, servants, street-people and -children, Bow Street runners, an eagle-eyed, sharp-tongued aged aunt, aiding and abetting the primary protags, compelling, lovable characters in their own right. Wrexford and Sloane are Lord and Lady “statussed,” but their world goes way beyond the ton. New parents Lady Kiera Darby and Sebastian Gage look forward to introducing Sebastian’s father to his granddaughter, but instead find themselves investigating an attempt on his life...
