商品简介 Voted the top crime novel of all time by the UK Crime Writers’ Association, The Daughter of Time is Josephine Tey’s last and most successful book. Complete and unabridged. Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is introduced by David Stuart Davies. Inspector Alan Grant is laid up in hospital with a spinal injury and he’s bored. Renowned for his ability to read a face, he passes the time looking at old portraits and one which particularly grabs his attention is of Richard III, the supposed arch villain who killed his own nephews, ‘the princes in the tower’. But Grant doesn’t accept the face in the portrait is the face of a villain so he sets out to investigate what really happened. An unusual premise for a crime novel perhaps, but nevertheless an extremely clever and engrossing one, brilliantly plotted and written with enormous charm and erudition.《时间的女儿》被英国犯罪作家协会评选为有史以来优秀的犯罪小说,是约瑟芬·泰伊最后也是成功的一本书。完整且未删节。麦克米伦收藏图书馆的一部分;一系列令人惊叹的布面袖珍经典作品,带有金箔边缘和丝带标记。这些精美的书籍是送给任何书籍爱好者的完美礼物或款待。此版本由大卫·斯图尔特·戴维斯 (David Stuart Davies) 推出。艾伦·格兰特警督因脊椎受伤住院,他感到很无聊。他以读脸能力而闻名,他把时间花在看旧肖像上,其中一幅特别引起他注意的是理查德三世的肖像,他被认为是杀死自己侄子“塔里的王子”的大恶棍。但格兰特不承认肖像中的脸是恶棍的脸,因此他开始调查到底发生了什么。对于一部犯罪小说来说,这也许是一个不寻常的前提,但仍然是一部极其聪明和引人入胜的小说,情节精妙,写作具有巨大的魅力和博学。
