List:

#1. Cover Her Face (1962). [6 hrs 46 mins]
Headstrong and beautiful, the young housemaid Sally Jupp is put rudely in her place, strangled in her bed behind a bolted door. Coolly brilliant policeman Adam Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard must find her killer among a houseful of suspects, most of whom had very good reason to wish her ill. (This first book in my opinion should not be read first, as it has a rather different feel to the rest of the series. Listen to "A Mind to Murder", "Unnatural Causes" or "Shroud for a Nightingale" first).

#2. A Mind to Murder (1963). [6 hrs 52 mins]
A piercing scream, shattering the evening calm, brings Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh hurrying from his literary party to the nearby Steen Psychiatric Clinic, where he discovers the body of a woman sprawled on the basement floor, a chisel thrust through her heart. As Dalgliesh probes beneath the apparently unruffled calm of the clinic, he discovers that many an intrigue lies hidden behind the Georgian terrace's unassuming facade.

#3. Unnatural Causes (1967). [7 hrs 12 mins]
Maurice Seton was a famous mystery writer -- but no murder from his imagination could equal the method of his own death. When his mutilated corpse is found in a drifting dinghy, ripples of horror spread among his bizarre neighbours on the remote Suffolk coast: the cruel and cynical drama critic, the celebrated recluse, the rakish young heir, the terrified woman waiting for her killer in a lonely house... It is up to Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh and his extraordinary aunt to discover the shocking truth about Seton's past - before the plot takes another murderous turn.

#4. Shroud for a Nightingale (1971). [10 hrs 2 mins]
The young women of Nightingale House are there to learn to nurse and comfort the suffering. But when one of the students plays patient in a demonstration of nursing skills, she is horribly, brutally killed. Another student dies equally mysteriously, and it is up to Adam Dalgliesh to unmask a killer who has decided to prescribe murder as the cure for all ills.

#5. The Black Tower (1975). [9 hrs 49 mins]
The story begins when Inspector Dalgliesh, himself recovering from both a serious illness and a crisis of confidence, is invited to Toynton Grange by the home's elderly chaplin; something is amiss, and the chaplin would welcome Dalgliesh's advice. But when Dalgliesh arrives, he finds his old friend has died a few days earlier. With little to go on except his own suspicion, Dalgliesh slowly, grudingly begins to investigate... and finds one suspicious death after another....

#6. Death of an Expert Witness (1977). [7 hrs 24 mins]
When a young girl is found murdered in a field, the scientific examination of the exhibits is just a routine job for the staff of Hoggatt's forensic science laboratory. But nothing could have prepared them for the brutal death of one of their own. When the senior biologist is found dead in his laboratory Commander Dalgliesh is called to the bleak fens of East Anglia, where the murderer is lying in wait to strike again.

#7. A Taste for Death (1986). [17 hrs 9 mins]
When two bodies are discovered with their throats slashed in a London church, Dalgleish is called upon to solve the case. One victim is Sir Paul Berowne, former Minister of the Crown; the other is a tramp accustomed to sleeping in the church vestibule. It seems that these deaths may be tied to those of two young women who have recently been employed in the Berowne household. Dalgleish feels an unusual empathy in this case; he had known Berowne and sensed several parallels in their lives.

#8. Devices And Desires (1989). [15 hrs 40 mins]
A serial killer of women is on the loose on the Norfolk coast in a community overshadowed by the Larksoken nuclear power station. Commander Dalgliesh, who is staying at his aunt's converted windmill, becomes involved in the hunt for the murderer, a search that implicates him in the concerns and dangerous secrets of the headland community.

#9. Original Sin (1994). [16 hrs 4 mins]
The Peverell Press, a two-hundred-year-old publishing firm housed in a dramatic mock-Venetian palace on the river Thames, is certainly ripe for change. But the proposals of its ruthlessly ambitious new managing director, Gerard Etienne, have made him dangerous enemies - a discarded mistress, a neglected and humiliated author, and rebellious colleagues and staff. When Gerard's body is discovered bizarrely desecrated, there is no shortage of suspects and Dalgliesh and his team are confronted with a puzzle of extraordinary complexity and a murderer who is prepared to strike again.

#10. A Certain Justice (1997). [15 hrs 33 mins]
Guilt or innocence is of no concern to a defending council, least of all to unemotional Venetia Aldricht QC, when another brilliant forensic display secures her client an acquittal for murder at the Old Bailey. But it is a different kettle of fish when the same sinisterly attractive young psychopath involves himself with her gauche love-starved daughter. When the iron-lady QC is then stabbed in locked Chambers, with grotesque trimmings to the corpse added posthumously by another hand, Commander Adam Dalgleish and his team, meticulously sifting the human sediment of the past for a motive, are suddenly wrong-footed when the prime suspect is murdered!
