  • "Secrets in the Snow" is one of many mystery stories written by J. Jefferson Farjeon (1883-1955), this one first appearing in the collection "Best Stories of the Underworld" published in 1942.
    In the story, a young woman named Janet decides to continue her journey to a Christmas party on foot when the bus she's travelling on breaks down. But she becomes lost in the snow and, taking refuge in a forlorn cottage, becomes embroiled in a mystery that may cost her her life. With a plucky, resourceful heroine, flashes of humour, and a dash of seasonal romance and melancholy, this enjoyable mystery packs a few twists and turns in its relatively short length.
    Guest narrator: Jasper L'Estrange (EnCrypted Horror).

    I'm so happy you asked Jasper to narrate this story. I love you both so much and I think Jasper is woefully under-recognized. I hope this helps him get many more well deserved subscribers to Encrypted Horror.

    I did NOT want that to end, Jasper was such an amazing narrator -- but when it did we were also treated to one of Tony's after-chats, which I always love to listen to. Thanks so much guys!

    At first I was disappointed not to hear Tony's voice, but I quickly realized how good Jasper is. I think this is the first time I've actually liked a guest on one of my UA-cam channels.

    Living in Canada we get a lot of American novels as audiobooks. But those are more about the criminal minds rather than the detectives thought process, which delightfully are the British. I'm hoping you will do more in this regard. Thank you for a delightful short mystery.

    Tony, I had no idea you already have a body of work in your detective channel. I’ve died and gone to a shitty dive bar! Aside from that you’ve really got to get in touch with Edward French- he would absolutely kill it (in a good way) performing a dark detective story.

    That was great. I couldn’t tell if the female character was a hard bitten dame, or a stupid teenager with “opposition defiance disorder” (I thinks that’s what we call it now). Anyways coupled with Jasper’s terse delivery I heard a real femme noir character. I loved it!

    I don’t think I have ever heard a man narrator who imitated a woman so well. Or whom I really believed without breaking suspension of disbelief. You sound definitely masculine, yet there’s something so lightly feminine about your voice and tone. Usually, I am silently wishing they’d just use their own voice and not try to imitate a deeper masculine or higher feminine tone. It gives a ridiculous sense of humor and mockery to the script. A shame they were otherwise so skillful at voice acting. Not with Jasper - he gives it no silly vapidity or condescension.
