The Daughter of Time; Josephine Tey

I really enjoyed this book. It felt like I was doing all the research for Richard III and Henry VII without having to do all the work of collecting. It was such a unique point of view and an interesting way to point out the discrepancies in historical information.

Because there was one main character, Alan Grant, and one secondary character, Brent Carradine, it makes the flow of the dialogue a little hard to follow. There are several other secondary characters but none have as much face time as Brent. When Alan and Brent bounce ideas and information off each other, it can get pretty confusing to understand who was saying what. I got lost several times.

My review system is going to be the standard 5 star scoring. This book gets 4.
