I've just finished Josephine Tey's "The Franchise Affair" and have been struck by its conservatism. This excellent Sarah Waters essay spotlights some of the fears and resentments seething in the book.
I would recommend "The Franchise Affair" not just as a gripping detective story but also as an insight into the post WW2 Tory mind.
