pennyriley 's review for:

The Franchise Affair by Josephine Tey
4.0

I read all of Josephine Tey's books as a teenager in the 60s. Reading them now the mysteries and the plots still stand up, but you have to try to put yourself back in time and ignore all the aspects of class and snobbery that are so evident. These books are period pieces, reminiscent of Agatha Christie and almost as good. And while five of the books feature Alan Grant, he is not central to this one at all.
