OK, as far as it goes.
I don't want to be unfairly harsh, because this clearly isn't meant to be a full biography of Richard III, or a full treatment of the ups and downs of his reputation, or even a full history of the discovery and analysis of his remains beneath a Leicester parking lot (not Licence's fault that it was published before the issue of Richard's final resting place was resolved). It covers the territory, and provides some interesting factoids for anyone interested in the life, the reputation, or the story of how his grave was discovered, 527 years (almost to the day!) after his disrespectful interment.
It's a good taster, an amuse-bouche.
