Josephine Tey was, of course, a master writer of detective stories, but this one is my favorite. Her hero, Inspector Grant, is laid up in the hospital, and relieves his boredom by figuring out whether King Richard III was really the monster history (and Shakespeare)portrayed him and who really killed the Princes in the Tower. In view of the recent discovery of Richard's long-lost grave, readers might find this fictional book on a historical question more relevant than pure escape literature.
