louisekf 's review for:
The Daughter of Time
by Josephine Tey
I don't understand how this could be considered one of the best mysteries ever written! I've had this slim volume on my bookshelf for who-knows-how-long and finally picked it up and opened it, thinking I'd have time to finish it before heading out for vacation (it's pretty short). Nope. And that should've been a warning that I wasn't going to be too enthusiastic about the book. So upon my return from vacation, I picked it back up and wound up having to skim through the first half of the book to refresh my memory.
This isn't a traditional "whodunit" at all. It reads more like a fictionalized historical treatise. Interesting but very dull.
