The Daughter of Time is a 1951 detective novel by Josephine Tey, concerning a modern police officer's investigation into the alleged crimes of King Richard III of England. It was the last book Tey published in her lifetime, shortly before her death. In 1990 it was voted number one in The Top 100 Crime Novels of All Time list compiled by the British Crime Writers' Association. In 1995 it was voted number four in The Top 100 Mystery Novels of All Time list compiled by the Mystery Writers of America.
Fun especially for anglophilic history buffs. I couldn't really keep track of all of the characters and puzzles and motivations, but that's actual history for you.
Fans of inspector Grant will enjoy watching him analyze historical mystery as though it were a modern murder.
