📖 Richard the Third by Paul Murray Kendall

We originally had a paperback reprint but I later found this beautiful 1950s hardback - first edition? - at a local charity shop.

Ruthiella Nice find! 2w

The Daughter of Time | Josephine Tey

pan

Not my cup of tea. While this was an original idea for a mystery novel, it was a bit of a slog to get through. Given that there's really no mystery (Tey was pretty upfront on finding Richard III not guilty), the book has no action. It's really an academic discussion about one king's history and reputation.

Another book #OffMyShelf 🎉 Plus, I‘m making excellent progress on my chunkster & have read at least 100 pages every day this month.

Ruthiella I loved this book! 😂 I felt like it was a sort of cerebral Rear Window. 3mo

wanderinglynn @Ruthiella ah, it was kind of like that, except sadly without Jimmy Stewart. 3mo

CarolynM You‘re right that nothing happens, yet, like @Ruthiella , I loved it. 3mo

rubyslippersreads @Ruthiella @CarolynM I love it too. It‘s the book that made me a Ricardian. 3mo

I liked this, but I think it would probably be more enjoyable to people with a deeper knowledge of British history.

I don‘t know if this royal mystery is “solved” but this book puts together an interesting case. I am not an expert so mostly it just made me want to read The Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey again.

This was my #BookSpinDoubleSpin for June
