A friend I worked with for a couple years recommended this to me as one of her favourite books.

And I have to say, I really enjoyed it! The premise seems a bit odd - a policeman recovering from an injury in a hospital attempts to unravel the true nature of Richard III. Was he the monster as depicted in Shakespeare's play? Did he really murder his nephews? Was he a horrible king? I think that Tey does a great job approaching the entire topic, and I really enjoyed this piece of anti-propaganda propaganda!

Four stars!
