The Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey
3.0

An intriguing and well-done cold case mystery--a very cold case, since the detective of the story examines the case of Richard III and whether or not he really did kill the princes in the tower. I admit, this isn't may fav period of history, and my knowledge of Richard III is mainly courtesy of a dimly recalled reading of Shakespeare's play, so the author lost me a bit, but I had to admire her writing style and historical know-how. The subject could easily have been a dry one, but she brings it to life admirably. So much so, evidently, that many of her readers joined the Richard III Society, an organization bent on clearing Richard's name.

One of those books that may not be my personal cup of tea, but is without a doubt beautifully done.
