It tries to solve the mystery of whether Richard had a hand in their deaths as he took over the throne. Trying to get a little head-start on my British history class this fall.

This was recommended over a year ago by my riding instructor, who has exactly the same taste in books I have. Then my husband read it and told me I'd love it. Well now I'm finally reading it and I am really enjoying it a lot. I should listen to people who know me! I'll read the next 2 in this series after I finish. Loved "Wicked" - which of this author's books should I read next? Enjoyed the twists in "Life of Pi", and dh also read it so we had fun talking about it (we have the smallest bookclub in the world here). I have "The Princes in the Tower" on my bookshelf but haven't read it yet.

Originally Posted By Labuda Just beware, 2/3, that not all of Mr. Maguire's books are as great as Wicked. Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister is pretty good, though.
