Dead Lions by Mick Herron (2013)
Audiobook narrated by Gerard Doyle.
I read this a couple years ago, but got the audiobook when I saw the library added it. Exciting, well-plotted and, as usual, better than the tv adaptation. (Which is also very good, I think.)
The Franchise Affair by Josephine Tey (1948)
Probably my favourite so far in My Summer of Tey. A teenager accuses a middle-aged woman and her mother of holding her hostage and beating her. They didn’t – but how to prove you didn’t do something? Loved it.
Hercule Poirot’s Christmas by Agatha Christie (1938)
Audiobook narrated by Hugh Fraser.
Weird and inappropriate timing, but I needed an audiobook and this was available so whatever. Clever plotting, very enjoyable.
Psmith, Journalist by PG Wodehouse (1915)
Not my favourite Wodehouse, but Psmith is a very amusing character and I enjoyed it a lot.
A Shilling for Candles by Josephine Tey (1936)
Josephine Tey does it again! An actress is found drowned on a beach and it is assumed to be suicide until a coat button is spotted tangled in her hair. Cue the twists, turns and red herrings.
