Richard III innocent of killing his nephews, "The Princes in the Tower"! It was his usurper, Henry VIi! Poor Richard got a really bad rap!

I loved the subject matter of this book, King Richard III of England and the mystery of the princes in the tower. Once the book really got into this investigation, I couldn't put it down. However, the beginning of the book, before the investigation/research into this matter got underway was rather tedious for me. I just wasn't thrilled with Tey's writing style in the beginning, but as the story progressed, the style became more fitting.

Completely different from my expectations and now, am wondering where did I get these expectations from?
The premise is a interesting one and the historical theories may be of interest to those who are actually interested in this period of history (Richard III) unfortunately, as am neither British nor interested much in that period of the British history, I totally failed in my appreciation of the book and do not feel competent to either rate / review.
