The Colwin Grey series features one of Arthur J. Rees’s recurring detectives, an investigator who appears in four novels from the mid-1920s to the early 1930s. The series begins with The Threshold of Fear (1925) and concludes with The Investigations of Colwin Grey (1932).
Set in the English countryside and small towns of the interwar period, these novels follow Grey as he unravels crimes through careful observation and logical deduction. The books reflect the classic detective fiction style of their era, with atmospheric settings and tightly constructed plots.
