4.0

Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

 A fascinating mystery and meditation on the nature of history and power that takes place entirely while the detective is flat on his back in a hospital bed. It shouldn't work and yet it does marvelously, as Inspector Alan Grant seeks to find whether Richard III actually killed the princes in the Tower through a series of histories, novels, and his own detecting abilities.
