The Daughter of Time is by Josephine Tey. The fifth in the realistic fiction mystery Inspector Grant series. Grant has been injured in a fall and is stuck in the hospital to recover. When one of his friends brings him a picture of Richard III to examine, he becomes fascinated. Richard supposedly murdered his twin nephews while they were being held in the Tower of London and assumed their throne. But Grant doesn't see the face of a killer in Richard's portrait and decides to research the Wicked Uncle and discover if there is any proof he was the killer. An interesting read, but not my favorite of the series.
Ratings: 9th grade - 6 out of 10 - AC (some mature thematic content).
