📖 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.

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

pickAfter a day out to Bosworth last week, just a bit of a R3 story. Enjoyable, if a bit romanticised.
