A Shilling for Candles by Josephine Tey
3.0
Well-written and an interesting mystery. I like Erica a lot (although she is a very childish seventeen, and if they attempt to make her into a love interest for Grant, I shall rage-quit this series instantly).
Tey does continue to have nasty bits about women, although it's not as prevalent as in the first book of the series. For example, one character is introduced thus: "a sulky fair girl who played 'dumb' blondes from year's end to year's end, and whose life was one long fight between her greed and her weight". Left a bad taste in my mouth.
