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.

Excellent Stuff

All the components of a well spent week of listening!
It’s great writing when you hope the investigator is wrong. Hence then it transpires they are wrong & that concludes the story, everything falls into place when ‘the story is done’ lovely
Great observational character work.
Josephine Tey, what a super Pen.

Not one of us

At first the books were interesting naturally a bit dated and the Grant character seemed quie sympathetic. But then the author increasingly displayed a lack of respect to anyone encountered she clearly considered ' not one of us' Cockneys , working people and the scots are treated with disdain, even hatred at time. She dismisses the people of the Isles almost like a sub species, incapable of having a valid culture such as playing and singing their own music. Her dismissal of the scots nationalist as ‘really coming from Liverpool’ caps it all.It left a nasty taste in the mouth. It shows the way some people thought in the old days. it's good Audible gives us Ann Cleaves and Peter May to balance

the vitriol

Awful narration

This narrator speaks like a twelve year old girl , who has a very pronounced lisp , therefore , all the characters have a very pronounced lisp as well , now sixty hours of that is indeed a very real trial , so , if you’re happy to endure this trial then good luck to you .
