I have noticed that there are several biographies on Jane Grey: Alison Plowden’s “Nine days a queen”, Leanda de Lisle’s “Sisters who would be Queen”, Eric Ives’s “Lady Jane Grey: a Tudor mistery” and Alison Weir’s “Children of England”. Which one would you recommend to someone who hasn’t read anything on Jane and has a good level of English although is not mother tongue?

I would recommend Leanda de Lisle's "The Sisters Who Would Be Queen" and Eric Ives' "Lady Jane Grey: A Tudor Mystery" as they are accurate, very readable and also give full references and bibliographies.
