It's much more verbiose, and with much less action. I appreciated the greater vocabulary, though. It makes the average modern book seem rather dumbed-down - makes me...” see full review » see other reviews » |

“brilliant book on Richard the Third: a must read. If you think that Henry was the baddie and Richard the goodie, then this book reconfirms all your preconceptions. A great book if you yourself are laid up! ”

“This books is a fictional history mystery in which the main character uncovers a very different version of the story of King Richard III than the one that shows up in Shakespeare's plays and his British schoolbooks. I enjoyed following the characters as they uncovered different sources and versions of King Richard's story. Anyone who reads this book will never trust his history textbooks again!”

“A fabulous mystery, in which a bedridden inspector Grant finds himself a mystery in the most unlikely of places. Desperate for something to do, he opens up a cold case: that of Richard III killing the two princes in the tower. Digging through historical evidence while marooned in his hospital bed, the Inspector comes to intriguing conclusions and discovers that there may be more than meets the eye to this case. Well-written and unique mystery. A must for fans of historical inquiry.”
