Historical murder mystery - Rated
First heard of this book when listening to digital radio channel BBC7. Although written before the second world war, it stands the test of time. A perfect summer read for those who enjoy unusual murder mysteries.
Too much research - Rated
This book is the story of an injured detective who looks to solve the mystery of The Princes in the Tower whilst he is in hospital.
The mystery itself, as well as the life of Richard III, has always fascinated me, and in that respect it made for an interesting read.
The story of the book however, served only to facilitate the illustration of the facts, and as such was very poor in execution. Consisting mainly of dialogue, the characters were forced to ask questions and posess knowledge that at best seemed unlikely.
As the book went on it seemed all to obvious that the author's own journey of solving the mystery and presenting the findings in a book was what was being described.
There must have been an incredible amount of research done in order to write this book, but unfortunately one is left feeling not enough time or skill was spent on the actual writing itself.
Meeting Richard 111 - Rated

Better than my schooldays - Rated
I found more passion and connection with the past through this deceptivelu billed detective story than in a whole childhood of eductaion. The book that taught me that history is about people and that kings and queens are as human as you or me. Essential.
