Josephine Tey re-creates one of history's most famous -- and vicious -- crimes in her classic bestselling novel, a must read for connoisseurs of fiction, now with a new introduction by Robert BarnardInspector Alan Grant of Scotland Yard, recuperating from a broken leg, becomes fascinated with a contemporary portrait of Richard III that bears no resemblance to the Wicked Uncle of history. Could such a sensitive, noble face actually belong to one of the world's most heinous villains -- a venomous hunchback who may have killed his brother's children to make his crown secure? Or could Richard have been the victim, turned into a monster by the usurpers of England's throne? Grant determines to find out once and for all, with the help of the British Museum and an American scholar, what kind of man Richard Plantagenet really was and who killed the Little Princes in the Tower."The Daughter of Time" is an ingeniously plotted, beautifully written, and suspenseful tale, a supreme achievement from one of mystery writing's most gifted masters.

不火是有原因的……发现那个时代的推理小说都喜欢列123 ABC...不管怎么样还是很有逻辑的

好看的,很值得看,使对历史小说和侦探小说不感兴趣的本人都很投入。虽然一半以上是草草看的中译本,微信读书的译本相当之差,甚至豆瓣都找不到那一版本的信息

Tey的逻辑能力与阿婆不相上下,但是文字能力强很多,暗戳戳的英式嘲讽特别有趣。
