So this was an interesting short book on the disappearance of Edward V of England and his younger brother Richard of York. They were just children when they were imprisoned and never seen again. Garber makes a pretty convincing theory of the crime and a fair attempt at deductive reasoning as to who would be responsible for their deaths. This book is not written from the perspective of a historian, but of an investigator. It was really a fun little read.

I didn't find any new insights in reading this book. Indeed, I was disappointed by the lack of citations; he often makes statements with no attribution as to where he got his information from. The biggest flaw in my opinion was his oft-repeated assertion that Richard III had a romance with his niece, Elizabeth. Aside from Shakespeare and More, both dubious sources in this regard, there is little evidence to support this, and John Ashdown-Hill has uncovered evidence that Richard was pursuing Portuguese marriages for them both which pretty much discredits this theory. Mr. Garber never mentions these findings though he should have had that information as an investigator.
I'm always interested in reading about the Wars of the Roses, but I should have saved my money on this one.… (más)
