cjbookjunkie 's review for:

The Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey
3.0

Some say this is the best mystery ever written...

A Scotland Yard Inspector stuck in a hospital bed with nothing but a picture of the long dead King Richard, a gift for reading faces, and a tenacity to get to the truth. Josephine Tey wove a great story that exposed how political maneuverings and history are told and re-told until they are barely recognizable. She and Inspector Grant take us on a journey through history to reveal the truth about King Richard and the accusation that he killed his two young nephews. I was drawn in quickly and enjoyed it to the end.
