The Murders of Richard III (Thorndike Press Large Print Basic Series) - Hardcover
In a remote English manor house, modern admirers of the much-maligned King Richard III -- one of Shakespeare's most extraordinary villains -- are gathered for a grand weekend of dress-up and make-believe murder. But the fun ends when the masquerade turns more sinister ... and deadly. Jacqueline Kirby, an American librarian on hand for the festivities, suddenly finds herself in the center of strange, dark doings .. and racing to untangle a murderous puzzle before history repeats itself in exceptionally macabre ways.

From the Back Cover:
When attractive American Jacqueline Kirby is invited to an English country mansion for a weekend costume affair, she expects only one mystery. Since the hosts and guests are all fanatic devotees of King Richard III, they hope to clear his name of the 500-year-old accusation that he killed the little princes in the Tower of London. Jacqueline puts all her observations together for a dazzling solution that will surprise even the most attentive listener.
