Daughter of Time

Josephine Tey is one of the most brilliant and original of all British crime writers. Born in Inverness in 1896, Tey made her mystery debut with The Man in the Queue in 1929, the book that also introduced Inspector Alan Grant. The Daughter of Time, first published in 1951, is her best known and loved work, and in 1990 was voted number 1 in the Top 100 Crime Novels of All Time list published by the British Crime Writers' Association.

As interesting and enjoyable a book as you will meet in a month of Sundays
