	Richard III Society, Josephine Tey
		Though she was best known as a playwright, she continued at intervals to publish novels and short stories, and under the pen-name "Josephine Tey," wrote a number of detective stories in which a distinctive quality, usually historical, enhanced the ingenuity which is the main attraction of this kind of fiction.
		"Josephine Tey" is derived from her mother's first name and the Tey surname of a distant grandmother in England.
		Tey keeps the pace lively by the constant activities of contemporary characters, while Grant's "flashbacks" to the past through the reading of historical sources guides the reader stepwise through the collection of evidence, such as it is, and the reasoning process.

	The FRANCHISE AFFAIR by Josephine Tey Touchstone - Bar Brews Gift Shop
		And human emotions, which Josephine Tey understood as well as anyone, do not change over time, which means that THE FRANCHISE AFFAIR remains as compelling a psychological study as it had been when she wrote it in the 1940s.
		Josephine Tey is remarkable for the broad subject range of her books and for fine writing.
		Josephine Tey's 1949 THE FRANCHISE AFFAIR is frequently described as a mystery or a detective novel.

	The Daughter of Time; The Princes in the Tower (Josephine Tey, Alison Weir)
		Josephine Tey's Daughter of Time is an engaging and cleverly constructed work of detective history.
		Tey is solidly in the revisionist camp: it was Henry VII who killed the princes rather than Richard III.
		All the available primary sources are drawn on to provide a detailed account of the events between the death of Edward IV in 1483 and the battle of Bosworth field in 1485, along with a briefer outline of their background and aftermath.

	The Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey Detailed Book Review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		"Josephine Tey (1897-1952), through the mind of her fictional Inspector Grant, re-opens the historical case of King Richard III, and his presumed act to gain the throne of England by murdering his two nephews.
		Tey was not the first to offer what Grant renders as his conclusion; however, the novel covers considerable historical ground in less than 200 pages and makes a compelling argument.
		Of special note is that many historians don't regard Josephine Tey's implication with too much seriousness, but almost all modern historians at least mention her when discussing England in 1483.

		His detecting is not generally of the brilliant puzzle-solving variety, and Tey's emphasis is usually on characterization and motivation rather than setting up intellectual problems.
		Indeed, Tey struggled with plots, often borrowing them from historical sources, but her literate and stylish writing is a great pleasure to the reader even if the mystery's solution is obvious or unmotivated.

		Josephine Tey is often referred to as the mystery writer for people who don't like mysteries.
		Her skills at character development and mood setting, and her tendency to focus on themes not usually touched upon by mystery writers, have earned her a vast and appreciative audience.
		In Daughter of Time, Tey focuses on the legend of Richard III, the evil hunchback of British history accused of murdering his young nephews.

	Natasha Cooper on Josephine Tey
		Her most famous novel is probably The Daughter of Time, in which it is the facade of evil that has to be removed from Richard III to reveal his fundamental goodness.
		Her unmasking by the apparently Lackadaisical, easy-going solicitor Robert Blair is a gripping piece of storytelling that shows how effectively Tey could create high tension and a sense of evil without death or even physical violence.
		The potential villain, a woman masquerading as a man, is saved from committing the ultimate crime by encountering - and accepting - the goodness of one of the other characters, which leads to a painful reassessment of her past and a renunciation of her desire for revenge.

	Josephine Tey, Sleuthing Into The Mystery of History (washingtonpost.com)
		That novel was published in 1949 but its author, Josephine Tey, scarcely had written her last word on the subject.
		She is a strange and fascinating case, a recluse about whom little is known, to the extent that no photographs of her are believed to have survived, if indeed any existed in the first place.
		Between 1947 and 1952 she published -- now as Josephine Tey -- "Miss Pym Disposes," "The Franchise Affair," "Brat Farrar," "To Love and Be Wise," "The Daughter of Time" and "The Singing Sands," the manuscript of this last having been discovered not long after her death in early 1952.

	Amazon.co.uk: The Franchise Affair: Josephine Tey: Books
		Josephine Tey died in 1952, leaving her entire estate to the National Trust.
		Tey's skill shines through in her reflection of English society, in her passion for the study of faces and ultimately in her force of will which means that the mystery, rather than sub-plots or socially commentary, remains paramount at all times.
		I also very much appreciated the fact that we, as readers, were kept utterly in the dark about the existence and testimony of the last witness; when the final revelations were made, it was as much of a surprise to me as to the assembled court-room.

	Dana Stabenow » How Josephine Tey Led Me into a Life of Crime
		It took her twenty-one years of patient persistence to get me to read Josephine Tey’s The Daughter of Time.
		And yet, Tey’s hero prevails, and this in spite of the fact that he spends the entire first paragraph staring at the ceiling.
		Tey takes the murder of the Princes in the Tower as her text, and in a completely convincing exercise of revisionist history exonerates Richard III, the man history has judged guilty of the crime.

	Not as elegant as Josephine Tey - Telegraph
		Writing a real person into a novel can be tricky and I suspect that the mystery writer Josephine Tey, an intensely private woman, might have been surprised at the role she is given in Nicola Upson's An Expert in Murder.
		Fortunately the police officer in charge of the case is Josephine's old friend, Inspector Penrose, who is happy to keep her involved.
		The 1930s setting, with its frequent references to the Great War which so profoundly influenced the characters, is carefully drawn and, like Tey's own detective novels, the book concentrates on the personalities, who are all connected in some way to her hugely successful, long-running play, Richard of Bordeaux.

		It is tragic that the author died in 1952 and was never to know the pleasure that this book would bring to generations of readers and that the Mystery Writers of America would ultimately rank it fourth among the one hundred best mysteries ever written.
		Tey does well with dialogue and characterization, and has an intriguingly skeptical view of history (and historians).

	The Book Den: Josephine Tey: It's Quality Not Quantity That Matters
		Of all the writers associated with the Golden Age of Mysteries, the most tantalizing is Josephine Tey, not only because of her immense talent but because her career in the genre was so unfortunately brief.
		She therefore leaves a body of work that is exceptional almost as much for what it suggests was yet to come as that which, in fact, remains.
		I now think it to be my favorite Tey mystery…understanding, of course, that nothing could displace The Daughter of Time as my ultimate Tey favorite...indeed, one of my favorite books -- period.
