1. The Man in the Queue (1929) *** I read the 1st novel early this year. When I saw this omnibus edition at a bargain price I grabbed it for this year's Long Books Challenge (LBC) with several GR friends. I reviewed book 1 as The Queue Murder. It was not an auspicious start, but I look forward to getting to the classic "The Daughter of Time."

2. A Shilling for Candles (1936) **** The 2nd novel in this Josephine Tey / Inspector Alan Grant Omnibus edition. An actress dies a drowning death which becomes investigated as murder. A quirky young tramp becomes the initial suspect followed by the husband and various movie world partners and rivals. The Chief Constable's daughter plays a delightful key role. Much improved over the 1st in the series.
