Josephine Tey / 约瑟芬·铁伊

Josephine Tey / 约瑟芬·铁伊 is the detective novelist discussed in 69.闲聊推理文学:历史学者可不就是侦探吗! as a high-literary, even, and warmly observant mystery writer. The episode says she published relatively few works but is still treated as comparable to Agatha Christie / 阿加莎·克里斯蒂 in quality and reputation.

Tey matters here through 《时间的女儿》. The hosts defend that book against the complaint that it is not “real” mystery: because the book uses evidence, documents, logic, rival motives, and reader-accessible materials, the episode treats it as a strong example of mystery’s core method transferred to history.
