“The Daughter of Time” by Josephine Tey ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“The Daughter of Time” follows the story of Scotland Yard Inspector, Alan Grant, and his search for the truth about Richard III whilst recovering from a broken leg. 

This mystery novel puts forth a half millennia debate over whether or not Richard III killed the Princes in the Tower (his nephews). This hotly debated topic continues to be one of England’s greatest historical mysteries. 

I do not want to say which side of the argument Tey falls upon in the novel as that will spoil the whole mystery. I will say however, that the evidence she puts forward is very compelling. 

I will also not be discussing my theories and opinions on the matter as an Instagram caption will not allow me to go into the heavy detail that is needed to discuss the topic.
