Features: Tey's novels are not just about the twists of the plot and the shocking resolution of the detective story. Just like reading Eileen Chang, you wouldn't only care about the story and the ending of the characters in the book. The Daughter of Time is undoubtedly a work with too high a density and seriousness. It's unlike the typical Japanese-style found in the market, which only requires readers to spend a few hours doing nothing. It also demands a humble reading attitude, delicate thinking, a high level of literary appreciation, and basic knowledge of British history. A unique historical mystery novel, almost "unlike" a typical detective novel. The "case" in the novel is a well-known story from British history: Richard III murdered the two young princes imprisoned in the Tower of London to seize the throne. The "crimes" of the suspect are outrageous and thought-provoking. However, Detective Grant, lying on his sickbed, overturns the historical consensus that has lasted for four hundred years with his meticulous reasoning, telling us: the truth may not be what you hear or see!
