Title: Excellent Mystery
Review: The Franchise Affair is a great mystery. Even though you know what the ending will probably be, you'll want to keep reading. Marion Sharpe and her mother, who live in a isolated mansion known as the Franchise, are accused of kidnapping and beating a teenager, Betty Kane. They say that they have never seen her before, and enlist a local attorney, Robert Blair, to defend them. He has never handled a case like this before, but resolves to do it. As the book progresses, Blair decides to conduct his own investigation into Betty Kane. He fervently believes in the Sharpes' innocence, and works to find gaps in Betty's story. Even though it seems like something straight out of Masterpiece Theatre, The Franchise Affair is exciting and hard to put down.
