In Jeanne Dam's latest mystery, The Corpse of St. James, ex-pat Dorothy Martin, retired schoolteacher, and her husband, retired chief constable Alan Nesbitt, attend a ceremony at Buckingham Palace honoring one of Alan's proteges, Jonathan Quinn, who is to receive the George Cross. While walking in the park across the street from the palace, they discover the body of a young woman. Although Quinn tells the police he does not recognize the girl, he later confesses to Dorothy and Alan that she is the granddaughter of an old family friend. Discovering the girl's murderer brings the trio into the world of those who are employed at the Palace--guards, tour guides, art curators, and even the man who tends the Queen's Corgis. Readers who enjoy a good British mystery will happily savor this one.
