The Inspector Grant Full 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.

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.

This audiobook is fully indexed. Once downloaded, each book and chapter will be listed so you can easily navigate to the individual section.

The beautiful writing was enhanced about the amazing g talent of the narrator. I wish that Josephine Tey had written more!

Total excellence

Excellent plots, well developed characters by a master of the Golden Age of women mystery writers. Josephine Tey deserves a far wider audience and the kind of films being made of other writers like Agatha Christie. She was gone far too soon, as these stories demonstrate.

Stylish classical mystery writing

The Grant stories were good, I couldn't get into the other two stories. I never heard of these stories so I took a chance, I do not regret that.

I enjoyed the character of Alan Grant. I especially liked “the daughter of time”. Wonderful piece of historical fiction.

Excellently read

A decade of so ago, I devoured all of Josephine Tey’s remarkable procedural mysteries with alacrity. That was my mistake. By reading these stories hurriedly, I missed their genius as novels: especially their exquisite character portrayals. By listening to these stories slowly in Audible, I came to appreciate one of the very best authors of mystery stories in English. In my view, better than Christie or Sayers.

Wonderful discovery. Full of wit and nuance. Tey is a sunnier Patricia Highsmith writing about rogues and evil—Tey’s rogues are delightful but evil is always punished. And the sexual tensions are always slightly wicked. Tey is not exactly politically correct by today’s standards but she is remarkably prescient about the power of the media and other issues and she takes on surprisingly large questions within her light and entertaining narratives

Wit and charm

You may have read Tey’s Daughter of Time, but who knew she had written more clever mysteries?? Post-war England with Inspector Grant, who is a realistic enough character to make mistakes and take us up the wrong path now and then. Interesting characters and situations and surprising final solutions. Beautifully written and beautifully read. Betsy T

How delightful!!!

These are excellent stories each very engrossing and entertaining but at least two - the franchise affair and daughter of time are true masterpieces of a genre peopled by geniuses like christie and Berkeley. Tey is a true master of the genre and her high points are unforgettable. Thanks audible very much for this truly excellent collection.
