书籍简介

《时间的女儿》被英国犯罪小说作家协会评为非常厉害犯罪小说，是约瑟芬-泰的一部作品，也是非常成功的一部作品。全书未经删节。

该版本由作家大卫-斯图尔特-戴维斯（David Stuart Davies）介绍。

艾伦-格兰特探长因脊柱受伤躺在医院里，百无聊赖。他以善于察颜观色而闻名，他通过观察古老的肖像来打发时间，其中一幅理查德三世的肖像特别吸引他的注意，他被认为是杀死自己侄子 "塔中王子 "的大坏蛋。但格兰特并不认同肖像画上的脸是一张恶棍的脸，于是他开始调查事情的真相。对于犯罪小说来说，这也许是一个不寻常的前提，但这却是一部极其巧妙、引人入胜的作品，情节精彩，文字充满魅力和博学。

Voted the top crime novel of all time by the UK Crime Writers' Association, The Daughter of Time is Josephine Tey's last and most successful book. Complete and unabridged. Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers.

These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is introduced by writer David Stuart Davies. Inspector Alan Grant is laid up in hospital with a spinal injury and he's bored.

Renowned for his ability to read a face, he passes the time looking at old portraits and one which particularly grabs his attention is of Richard III, the supposed arch villain who killed his own nephews, 'the princes in the tower'. But Grant doesn't accept the face in the portrait is the face of a villain so he sets out to investigate what really happened. An unusual premise for a crime novel perhaps, but nevertheless an extremely clever and engrossing one, brilliantly plotted and written with enormous charm and erudition.

作者简介

约瑟芬-泰（Josephine Tey）是非常知名，非常受喜爱的犯罪小说作家之一。她的小说《排队的人》（The Man in the Queue，1929 年）成功出版后，她开始全职写作，该书介绍了苏格兰场的格兰特探长。1937 年，她凭借《一先令的蜡烛》重返犯罪小说创作，但直到第二次世界大战后，她的大部分犯罪小说才得以出版。约瑟芬-泰于 1952 年去世，将全部遗产留给了国民信托基金。

Josephine Tey is one of the best-known and best-loved of all crime writers. She began to write full-time after the successful publication of her first novel, The Man in the Queue (1929), which introduced Inspector Grant of Scotland Yard. In 1937 she returned to crime writing with A Shilling for Candles, but it wasn't until after the Second World War that the majority of her crime novels were published. Josephine Tey died in 1952, leaving her entire estate to the National Trust.
