maplessence 's review for:
The Franchise Affair
by Josephine Tey
I've been wanting to read this Tey title for a very long time &, other than the reader sees very little of Inspector Grant, it did not disappoint.
This tale of the disappearance of a young girl & her bizarre accusations against a mother & daughter was very hard to put down and I wolfed through it in around 24 hours.
As it is a Golden Age you have to put up with an author's foibles, & Ms Tey has the firm belief that you can tell a criminal by certain characteristics - in this book eye colour(!) Never mind. Tey's ability to sketch characters in a few words & her realisation of small town life is quite wonderful & I was entertained until the end.
