Summary
The Josephine Tey Collection includes unabridged recordings of all 6 of the novels in the Inspector Alan Grant series.
This audiobook is fully indexed. Once downloaded, each book and chapter will be listed so you can easily navigate to the individual section.
The novels included here are:
The Man in the Queue - Inspector Alan Grant searches for the identity of a man killed in the line at a theatre and for the identity of the killer—whom no-one saw.
A Shilling for Candles - Beneath the sea cliffs of the south coast, suicides are a sad but common fact. Yet even the hardened coastguard knows something is wrong when a beautiful young film actress is found lying dead on the beach one morning, even though the area is notorious for such incidents.
The Franchise Affair - A town full of colourful characters and an impossible disappearance, all threaded through with Tey’s signature psychological probing.
To Love and Be Wise - The incomparable Inspector Alan Grant returns in the latest addition to our enormously popular Josephine Tey series. As well as all the usual delights of Tey’s writing and the Inspector himself, To Love and Be Wise also features one of the most cunning and surprising twists of any of Tey’s novels.
The Daughter of Time - Still Tey’s most enduringly popular mystery. Can a bed-ridden 20th-century detective solve a 500-year-old crime?
The Singing Sands - Centres on the mysterious death of a young man on a train, and the cryptic poem that gradually reveals the greed and envy behind his demise.

Vey's characterisation is brilliant
However, characters constantly using the term 'anyhow' was irritating, as it feels like Americanisation in an otherwise very English story.

Good value
There are a lot of good things about these books. The narrator is excellent and the stories reasonably good. I was a little surprised by the occasional - somewhat unnecessary- derogatory comments about women in general from a female author but it’s probably of its era.

unfairly overshadowed by Agatha Christie
The skill of the author in depicting places as well as characters with depth and wit

Great value, and kept my mind busy.
I enjoyed these mysteries, and didn't find them too "samey". Great value too, I would recommend.

What a great writer - the female version of Conan Doyle
I so enjoyed this series - so clever and colourful with brilliantly observed characterisation and deftly crafted plots - wonderfully entertaining

Absolutely no issue with narration!
This is an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in Golden Age crime - and a bargain to get all this for just one credit. The narration is faultless.
