The Daughter of Time (Inspector Alan Grant, #5)
by
by
This is a clear and concise investigation of the disappearance of the princes in the tower. Inspector Grant is in hospital bored to death until his friend recommend him to investigate one of History's mysteries.
This is a very short book but I really recommend it to people interested in the War of the Roses and the figure of Richard III. I am not a Historian so I cannot assess whether what the author presents in this book is actually real or not. However, as far as I know, you only get facts in this novel and there is little place left for speculation. Through Inspector Grant, Josephine Tey conducts a meticulous enumeration of the facts previous to the supposed disappearance and what ensued to all people that could have been involved or that benefited from it.
Let me stress the fact that this is a very readable (even light) book, it is not something written by a historian but a novelist!
