Received in a timely manner. Reasonable price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Good Balance of Science, History, and Drama *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 11, 2015* I enjoyed this book immensely, I read it in the Kindle version, picking it up and putting it down on flights to and from England, finishing it at home, and never got frustrated with the technical parts. Upon reflection or after I have a chance to study, analyze, or look it over again, I might score it a 5. The 4-star is a measure of my own limitations in British history and literature of the era. The chapters are divided helpfully, and the authors did a good job of reminding readers of details from earlier chapters, allowing us to discover how we can or should care about this discovery. It's not just about the dead past, however, or about royal-worship: this chronicle of the sequence of discoveries satisfies the same way detective fiction in books or tv does when done well, teaching observation, method, and justifiable interpretation along the way. The book makes it easy for readers to reflect on the caprice of fame/infamy and our own roles in "this mortal coil." I enjoyed the glimpses into the mini-dramas people got themselves into at Leicester by being at the center of an unfolding discovery, finding their own jobs and responsibilities enormously expanded. To prepare for a press conference of international interest, someone--responsible and thinking on her feet--realized table drapes needed to be ironed, so she did it....that sort of human-level thing. From a management perspective, this book understates but reveals how good, old fashioned teamwork can work. The bibliographic support for each chapter seems just enough and not off-putting, and I still find DNA sleuthing amazing in what can be sorted out. The writers did a good job of not losing this non-scientist. Years ago someone recommended to me Josephine Tey's excellent book, The Daughter of Time, about the fate of the boys in the tower. I recommend that book for a more narrative and literary approach, and this one for the right amount of gee-whiz science and logistics management of a contemporary, partly dumb-luck discovery that leaves us with a good feeling that some little bit more of Truth and Justice have come into the world. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Well written for general audiences *by D***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 25, 2015* This book describes in detail how the search for Richard's grave was orchestrated and conducted. It includes sections providing background information about who Richard was and the context within which he was killed and buried.I appreciated the effort made by the authors to clearly differentiate between known facts and speculation.There is a bit of what I perceived to be "defensive writing" in the section regarding DNA analysis as the level of detail provided seemed intended to defend the conclusions reached rather than simply describe for a general audience what DNA analysis consists of. On the other hand, the section describing the skeletal remains contained a bit less detail than I was expecting.There are some nice maps and line drawings, showing the location and layout of the Greyfriars Friary - none of which is new, providing context for the buildings within Leicester. There are some good but not extensive photographs of the grave site and the remains.I especially liked the "Further Reading" suggestions that follow each section of the book. The authors correctly anticipated that their work would inspire readers to want to know more. Sorting the bibliography in this way makes it easy to identify titles in a specific area of interest.In summary: This book is a good read, printed on excellent quality paper. It provides a good overview of how the "King Under the Car Park" was found, and why it matters that he was. It is not a book for people looking for detailed information concerning wound ballistics or osteoarchaeology. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/14814863-the-bones-of-a-king-richard-iii-rediscovered](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/14814863-the-bones-of-a-king-richard-iii-rediscovered) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-10-14*
