I´d always heard good things about it, and was rather disappointed.
      As the one who nominated Daughter of Time, I feel obliged to put in a word. First, thanks to Judy for all the work she's done running the poll, and for all who commented. Of course, I'm glad we'll be reading Tey's classic, but I can also understand why some find it off putting or different from her other work. I first read it in high school in the middle of a history craze, along with Anya Seton's "Katherine" and Dorothy Dunnett's series; "Daughter" is as much a history as it is a mystery.On a completely different note, from a technical dinosaur: how does one include a book link in the comment section? Thanks.

We'll read Murder of a Lady in May and The Daughter of Time in June, so there will be no poll next month..."
Cool, I won't read Daughter of Time again, but I will read Murder of a Lady.
