A Shilling for Candles by Josephine Tey

3.0

An interesting mystery in which a variety of people are guilty of a variety of things, but only one of them committed murder--not for a reason I found believable.

One star off because of the antisemitism. Even the positive stereotypes were still off-putting, as if English and Jewish were two different species of human beings.
