The Man in the Queue
by Josephine Tey (Methuen, 1929)
audiobook read by Stefan Rudnicki (Blackstone, 2025)
An odd mystery, relying on regular policework to identify a suspect, uncommon coincidence to cast doubt on his guilt, and then an out-of-the-blue confession to solve the case. Inspector Grant is a cerebral, rather literary protagonist, present and involved from the outset.
