I'm enjoying this 1951 detective mystery into the life of Richard III. His supposed bones have recently been excavated from beneath a supermarket car park in Leicester (UK)."

Tey is so underated Harry- very interested to hear how you find the book- facinating plot!!

Reading The Survivor..expected a good crime novel- it is that but lead character is extremely affecting and touching- was not expecting that!

Howard wrote: "Rick:

Not to be politically incorrect but, given Thomas' history, George could have been a direct descendant.

Something to think about."

Very true...must never forget that while he did much good....Thomas was a slave owner...a horrid period in our history that must never be forgotten

Love to meet up with Gene Rayburn. Find out if he really thought Charles Nelson Reilly was funny.
