The Pigeon Pie Mystery - QA. Tuesday 31 July Following the success of your second, THE TOWER, THE ZOO, AND THE TORTOISE, what made you decide to write a mystery? I wanted to write a novel about the grace-and-favour residents of Hampton Court Palace. The Pigeon Pie Mystery is her third novel, and is set largely inside Hampton Court Palace and its grounds during the reign of Queen Victoria. As still happens today, the reigning monarch allowed 'grace and favour' residents to make their home in Hampton Court Palace, with their rent, at least, being paid by the state. The Pigeon Pie Mystery is wonderful! Julia Stuart has written a funny, "cozy" mystery. It is an extremely well researched story full of wonderfully complex characters who interact with each other in unexpected, yet completely believable, ways. The author makes you really care about her characters.
