meeners 's review for:

The Franchise Affair by Josephine Tey
4.0

was musing to a friend the other day that josephine tey is at her most appealing when she flouts the conventions of the mystery genre(s) - after first clearly signalling to the reader that she knows exactly what those conventions are. there's a crime here, and suspects, but objectivity and logic be hanged; that's not what matters here.
