Description

A seasoned writer of criminology, the narrator treats each puzzle as a laboratory experiment. He doesn’t chase fame; he simply records the facts, follows the trail of evidence, and hands the solution over to the police—whether they can use it or not. When a strange midnight visitor appears at his newly inherited country house, his analytical instincts are pulled into what will become known as the Cartordale Mystery.

Set against the bleak beauty of Peakshire, the story unfolds from the gloomy stone mansion perched above the valley, its walls echoing the remnants of an old quarry. Surrounded by heather‑clad moorland and the imposing White Towers of Sir Philip Clevedon, the narrator’s boredom quickly turns into fascination. Listeners will accompany him as he pieces together clues, illuminating a tangled skein of motives and secrets that lie just beneath the quiet countryside surface.
