Adam Grant - in a hospital bed - is investigating the criminality of Richard III. The crime, history, and research all tied up and presented to us with an unexpected (?) conclusion, one shared by more than a few historians. Is British royalty ever boring? No. This is a good detective yarn. Tey had a very successful play, Richard of Bordeaux, which featured a young actor and director by the name of John Gielgud. He and Tey remained lifelong friends.
