indio_ink 's review for:

The Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey
5.0

One of the classics.

The whole investigation takes place while the inspector is confined to a hospitable bed. There are enough sites for synopses and analyses of this delightfully constructed story.

It's enough to say that this contains one of my favorite openings to a novel (because so subtly funny) ever.

Public domain by the way. Downloaded my copy from the University of Adelaide. They maintain a page with most of her work.
