What lurks behind the charming façade?

Writer Mark Endicott moves to a Dorset village, where he buys the small, almost derelict Corpse Path Cottage. It occurs to him that it would make the ideal setting for a murder.

A sinister promise.

Before long, one of the village’s residents is mysteriously shot dead nearby.

Mark’s life begins to unravel even as he helps the police solve the mystery. In the process he uncovers a tale of intrigue, bigamy, and blackmail.

The secrets of the villagers won’t stay secret for long.

But at what cost?

The narration is superb but the story, even after the murder, drags on and on.
Would be a lovely rainy day movie but as an audible book, a brilliant sleeping pill.

Depends on your preference.

Very old fashioned but very enjoyable nevertheless. Such sensibilities long gone, but so well written.

The narrator was extraordinary.

At first I came close to leaving this unfinished but I am glad I persevered. It started off slow but gathered pace and I found myself enjoying the characters and storyline.

Started to think I was listening to the wrong book. No murder until at least 5 hours in, narrator was good though. Thank you audible for the free listen.

Long winded
