This book could easily have been some boring academic treatise but it is exactly the opposite. It is one of the most interesting books I have read in a long time. It covers Richard III' s life and death at Bosworth, one lady's obsession with his story and getting him found, convincing groups to fund an archeological dig, the dig it's self, reassembling the skeleton, identifying injuries, reconstructing his face and finally DNA confirmation that the skeleton actually is Richard III. An easy read that just rips along like a good mystery should.
This will be one of my all time favourite books!
