Style: The weakest of Alphin's juvenile fiction novels. Although the idea is early (from college days), her writing style didn't mature as it did with other works. Would make a good movie for kids, however.
NOTES: The idea that souls are bound to the location of their body's death is unsound Christian doctrine, although there are many who believe it. Also, contra Alphin's "character witness" for Richard, plenty of "good husbands and fathers" have killed people for reasons of state, or otherwise (see the biographies of Nazi soldiers and obliging citizens).
I have, of course, my own theory about the death of the Princes, which exculpates both the usual suspects.
Watch for the book! ( )
