I'm just under half way through at the moment and am enjoying Alison's straightforward and conversational writing style.

I finished this book just before Christmas. It was I finished this book just before Christmas. It was really easy to read and very enjoyable. I felt that the sway of this book was quite pro Richard, so I would be interested in reading one that isn't for a more balanced outlook. But based on the extensive historical evidence presented in the book, I am persuaded that Richard wasn't a Machiavellian king.

This was a well written book about an intriguing history mystery and an exciting archaeological discovery. #richardiii #carpark #archaeology #bookreview #historybookreview #historygirls #memoirsofateapot #historybloggersaustralia #learnfromthepast #historymystery #historydebate #mysteries #history #lovehistory #historybook #richardthird #plantagenets #warsoftheroses #englishhistory
