Publisher's Summary
The Josephine Tey Collection includes unabridged recordings of Tey's 8 major novels in one audiobook, including 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.
Miss Pym Disposes - Bestselling author Lucy Pym is initially thrilled to be invited to lecture at Leys Physical Training College. However, a tragic accident in the gymnasium reveals a darker side to the school, and unexpectedly Miss Pym finds she must draw on her psychological expertise to trace who, of all these wholesome girls, has violence on the mind.
Brat Farrar - A stranger enters the inner sanctum of the Ashby family posing as Patrick Ashby, the heir to the family's sizeable fortune. The stranger, Brat Farrar, has been carefully coached on Patrick's mannerisms, appearance and every significant detail of Patrick's early life, up to his thirteenth year when he disappeared and was thought to have drowned himself.

A Great Compendium
As a fan of Josephine Tey from way back, I was delighted to find this collection of her works. Written half a century ago the attitudes are a bit different from today's but a good reminder of what went on not so long ago, cosmically speaking.
But really, all thumbs and fingers up, and ten stars to the narrator - she delineates each character perfectly, and her Scottish actor has me, as Scot, swooning with joy - so different from many others who make me rage!

Not what I was looking for
It had been a long time since I had read Josephine Tay and now I remember why. The investigator spent half a book assuming that gangs had done the crime and although that was not the final solution, there was no sense of a clear investigation leading to the finale. Just not for me.
