The Murders of Richard III

The Murders of Richard III | Elizabeth Peters

so-so

(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

The Murders of Richard III | Elizabeth Peters

Time for a Richard III fix by listening to this mystery book written by Elizabeth Peters, author of the popular Amelia Peabody Series. This one is in one of her other series, Jacqueline Kirby, and was written in 1974.
Could the events around Richard III be repeating themselves ? #CenturyReadingChallenge

CarolynM Another great Elizabeth Peters book! 5y

Andrew65 @CarolynM It wasn‘t a book I‘d heard of until I researched books published in 1974. A clever little book. 5y

CarolynM She was a very clever writer. There's some wonderfully sly satire on the publishing world in the Jacqueline Kirby books. 5y

Andrew65 @CarolynM Loved the section too talking about grammar and the use of the apostrophe! (edited) 5y

Not a huge fan of Jacqueline... A cozy mystery that's fun if you are into Richard III "rehab"...otherwise, not so much.
