About this listen

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.

Delightful mystery novel, well written. I enjoyed the historical and literary allusions and Corpse Path Cottage is true to the time it is set in, just after WW2 (I was born in 1947 so recognised the era from my childhood). The narration was good apart from a few mispronunciations and James Langton has a pleasant voice.
I’m writing this immediately after listening to the second novel in this series, Sixpenny Holding, which I’m afraid wasn’t as enjoyable for me as I really don’t like children and found the novel irritating and the female narrator’s voice less pleasing to listen to, again with some mispronunciations. Nonetheless I’m hopefully looking forward to Margaret Scutt’s next book.

Thoroughly enjoyable

This was the second book I’ve listened to by this author. Love the quaintness of the stories and the narration brought it to life perfectly.

Charming and funny. Well worth the listen.

This was a free book as part of my Audible package and I wasn’t expecting it to be any good. How wrong I was. The narration was excellent, just like listening to a play. Very amusing too. Interesting throughout, never a dull moment or cause to increase the speed!

Instantly Enjoyable
