Considering I had to read this for school, I really wasn't expecting it to be that good, but it wasn't bad at all. It could seem a tad tedious at times and if you don't already know a lot about the characters surrounding Richard III then some parts will be a bit confusing given the amount of detail that is presented. Skimming over this information though will hardly thwart your understanding of the story.

Ένα ασυνήθιστο αστυνομικό, που έχει να κάνει με ένα ιστορικό γεγονός του 15ου αιώνα. Η υπόθεση αφορά τον φόνο των δύο ανιψιών του Ριχάρδου του τρίτου από τον ίδιο. Η εξιχνίαση εξετάζεται μέσω της μελέτης της ιστοριογραφίας της εποχής και ποιων ιστορικών θα μπορούσαν να είναι αξιόπιστοι.

4 stars - It was great. I loved it.

Being very acquainted with Tudor history significantly added to my enjoyment of this novel, but I fear readers who are not will lose a lot of its witty nuance.

Favorite Quote: Perhaps a series of small satisfactions scattered like sequins over the texture of everyday life was of greater worth than the academic satisfaction of owning a collection of fine objects at the back of a drawer.

First Sentence: Grant lay on his high white cot and stared at the ceiling.
