caroparr 's review for:
The Franchise Affair
by Josephine Tey
This was a favorite of hers and it still holds up. (Note to self: see my original reviews under [b:Three By Tey: Miss Pym Disposes / The Franchise Affair / Brat Farrar|952318|Three By Tey Miss Pym Disposes / The Franchise Affair / Brat Farrar|Josephine Tey|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1272504783l/952318._SY75_.jpg|937230]). How in the world could the accuser so accurately describe a house she'd never set foot in? And if she wasn't really locked up there for weeks by the mother and daughter owners, where was she? Yes, as another reviewer has noted, Tey is a "Tory reactionary," but if you can ignore that aspect of her writing, this is a winner. No murder, no Grant, but justice is done, and there's a lovely twist at the end.
