Summary
The fifth book in the Inspector Alan Grant series. The Daughter of Time remains Josephine Tey's most enduringly popular mystery. Can a bed-ridden 20th-century detective solve a 500-year-old crime? The murder of the young princes in the Tower of London in 1483 is the most notorious crime in English royal history. The prime suspect has long been Richard III, portrayed as a monster by everyone from early propagandists writing immediately after Richard's death to Shakespeare himself. In this, the book repeatedly voted one of the best mystery novels of all time, queen of Golden Age crime Josephine Tey tackles the question of Richard's guilt via her own celebrated detective.

Mir persönlich war die Geschichte etwas zu trocken, gerade im Vergleich mit den anderen Büchern der Autorin. Wer sich allerdings für englische Geschichte interessiert, kommt voll auf seine Kosten. Was das Buch definitiv bietet ist eine hervorragende Abhandlung darüber, nicht alles zu glauben, was man liest und gewissenhaft Quellenangaben zu überprüfen und zu hinterfragen!
