Too tired...
...to post sensibly. Had a lovely evening at our monthly reading group - great company, good food and a fine discussion of Marc Behm's twin novels, Eye of the Beholder and Afraid to Death.
Came home to finish reading (re-reading actually, although it must be near 20 years ago) Josephine Tey's tantalising Daughter of Time. During the process of cataloguing my books a couple of weeks ago, I was surprised to find that I didn't have a copy of this book - I must have read my father's originally - so I ordered one. Several of Josephine Tey's books have been re-issued recently, including this one, so luckily it was in print. I was rather to surprised to find that the new edition does not include a picture of the portrait of Richard III which is the central prop for the novel. If you are thinking of reading this, go for the older edition - or be prepared for a trip to the National Portrait Gallery.
