During parts of this book, I really wanted to kick several of the characters (i.e. Betty). The entire story felt very real, and I was in suspense for almost the entire story. This is the third book by Josephine Tey that I've read, and again I'm surprised at how different this book was from the others by her I've read.

Stodgy Robert Blair, a lawyer, meets the unconventional Marion Sharpe when Marion and her mother are falsely accused of kidnapping a teenage girl and imprisoning her in their attic. I enjoy the characters in this, and it's a little weird to see Inspector Grant not on the side of the angels. I enjoy this story very much.
