About this listen
Inspector Alan Grant: The Full Collection includes unabridged recordings of all 6 of the novels in the Inspector Alan Grant series from famed crime writer, Josephine Tey.
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.
This audiobook is fully indexed. Once downloaded, each book and chapter will be listed so you can easily navigate to the individual section.

Some people might say tje story demonstrates class bias but again both families involved are middle class and not wealthy.
Nevertheless, I do like the other stories more. in particular the last one, Singing Sands which is set in Scotland and also The Man in the queue which does spend some of the narrative in Scotland as well.
Tey's stories have a certain quirkiness that Christie's stories lack. And I particularly like her descriptions of Scotland and London.
Updating my review. Largely enjoyed this but too few Grant stories
