(1974) Second in Peters's series of mysteries featuring librarian Jacqueline Kirby. In this one Kirby attends a meeting of cosplaying "Ricardians": scholars and history buffs interested in correcting the reputation of King Richard III. Someone takes the game too seriously, staging non-fatal but disturbing "accidents" based on murders attributed to King Dick. It's fun and I love Kirby, but the premise is too precious to make it a favorite
