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.

Great stories, fantastic reader.

These stories were a lot of fun. A lot of entertainment packed in one audiobook. The Protagonist is a well developed person who has a real humanity to him.

Unusual

Love the narrator, she brings life to all she reads. The difference in all the books is enchanting & bringing an historical murder in was a brilliant twist.
Recommend wholeheartedly

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.

Good books, shortcomings in recordings

Very fond of Josephine Tey's work, especially The Daughter of Time and The Franchise Affair, and it's good to have the books together in one anthology. But there's something unsettling about the narration which frequently lapses into an odd staccato. Another reviewer has described it as robotic. Very odd, and a great pity.

Hmm…man gets stabbed in a theatre queue. Police go chasing after one red herring after another. Conclusion comes out of the blue

Awful…..persisted in case it got better. This will go into my deletion box!! So badly written it was excruciating. The narration, although clear sounded robotic.
Please don’t waste time or money.
