The Pequod Review:

The Franchise Affair is the third book in Josephine Tey's Alan Grant series. In it, a local solicitor is hired to investigate an alleged case of kidnapping and abuse. The book culminates in a successful trial, but it is the characters of the solicitor and the accused woman that are truly first rate, and lead the story to develop surprising emotional depth.
