Crit Of Books The Daughter of Time (Inspector Alan Grant #5)

"Sin, death, and hell have set their marks on him,And all their ministers attend on him."-William Shakespeare, Richard III, Act I, Scene IIIRichard III is one of historys most notorious villains. Thanks in large part to Shakespeares play, he is known as a remorseless usurper who murdered his young nephews, the princes in the tower, so that he could become King. He was King for less than two years, but he remains one of the more memorable characters from British history. This is not an

In 1951, Josephine Tey wrote her 5th novel in the Inspector Grant series. In 1990, this mystery novel was named the greatest mystery novel of all time by the British Crime Writers' Association. After reading it, I can definitely see why.For one thing, during the entire novel, Inspector Alan Grant is confined to bed with a broken leg and a strained back. He is an inspector for Scotland Yard an active man, relying on his brains and his brawn to help him solve cases. He also studies faces and uses

OK, after reading To the Tower Born, I got really hooked on the Richard III thing and about him maybe being a murderer or maybe not. So I read this book Daughter of Time, which went about attempting to prove Richard III's innocence in one of the most notorious unsolved crimes in history.

There was a debate on between a member of the department, and quite an eminent constitutional lawyer of whom I have long been in an intellectual sort of awe, so I went along.The topic of the debate was whether, if the Scottish Parliament

A clever little book which causes me something of a dilemma do I put it on the fiction shelf or that reserved for non fiction?A fictitious Scotland Yard Inspector, hospitalised following a fall, sets to work with the aid of a young, fictional American research assistant, to look into the life of the much maligned Richard III. They focus on contemporary/ near contemporary chroniclers and records of the time and also what successive historians have written about the man and the King. The 2 men

The title threw me a little, but this turned out to be an interesting and entertaining mystery about the murder of the two Princes in the Tower. No one knows what really happened, but popular belief is that their uncle, Richard III, had them killed to clear his way to become King of England. Josephine Tey and her two main characters, Alan Grant and Brent Carradine, take a forensic, Scotland Yard approach to the crime, and come up with the conclusion that most of the history books are wrong. I've
