The Franchise Affair by Josephine Tey

3.0

---

I feel certain I had read this before, but nothing about it seemed familiar. It's almost a locked-room mystery--it's one girl's word against that of two women, with no evidence either way for a long time. The setting is a stereotypical English village and the protagonist a veddy English solicitor. But the story rolls along nicely. Not Tey's best, but an engaging read.
