Secrets in The Snow by J. Jefferson Farjeon
"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.

yeah exactly . i feel really fresh to hear this audiobook . for more romantic and classical stories you can visit my KZread channel.
YES! It's awesome that we have Jasper taking part in this. He's incredibly talented and needs more exposure 💜
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!
Two of Jasper 's narrations in two days?!? Life is good! Thanks so much to Tony for another great channel!
Ooh ooh ooh! Jasper on Tony's channel! This is great; my two favourite narrator/authors on one broadcast. 😁❣️🕵🏼
This was wonderful. Thank you so much
What a treat. Just an awesome collaboration. 10/10 guys.
I'm so happy for this! Thank you very much 🎉
Ecstatic to hear Jasper's dulcet tones on this one. ❤❤❤ This collaboration could be habit-forming. Awesomeness 😁
Thank you 😊
Hooray! I found it! Well done Jasper! I really enjoyed this! Horror and mystery are my two greatest loves. I really hope that you two will work together again in the future. I’m excited to have a new channel to enjoy! Thank you!🐙
I absolutely love this gentleman’s voice. Splendidly narrated. Great story. I am glad I stumbled upon this excellent story. Thank you
So happy I found you. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Here via Encrypted podcast, looking forward to the Christmas mystery!
Excellent! 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 KZread channels.

I really enjoyed this. I came across the recommendation, randomly, in the comments section of another KZread video (food-related) and was curious, so here I am. Well worth it; thank you very much.
Jasper read this so well I forgot he wasn't you and popped right into the story.
Thanks
Thanks!

I'm here for Jasper, best narrator i know (followed closely by Tony of course).
13 December 2023 - Listening from Kentucky. Great tale!
Much enjoyed
Love you both Jasper and Tony !
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.
Great story from my two favourite narrators. I really hope all Tony's subscribers head over to Jasper's Encrypted Horror, there's definitely room for both channels to be equally successful ❤
This is gorgeous. Nice job. 😊😊😊😊😊

👌Great voice.
Oh my gosh I’m so happy this just randomly popped up in my feed! Excellent idea friend! 👏👍🏼 Excited to see what you & guests have in store. Hope all is well with you & yours. Thanks Tony! And thanks Jasper, top notch as always 👏 Tony, Matthew Jones, (yall may know him as MJam from London), would be an amazing addition to your guest list! His character range is second to none. Also his original work, writing etc. 👍🏼❤️
Crossover alert! This is brilliant. More collaborations please
This was great. Thank you
For 25 yrs wondered what "www" stood for & now know: "Whirling White Wilderness!" Thanks...
Oh, I like that ending, where Janet ends up thinking about (spoiler).
Loved this!!!❤❤❤
Oh it's Jasper! I love hearing him on another channel. He's superb 🖤☠️❄️
Really great! Thanks from Germany!

Oh my Goddess Jasper (redressing the patriarchal balance lol 😂) these are my other absolute favourite types of fiction and I watch paranormal movies and mysteries also! Especially period ones! I think you & Tony are two of the best narrator’s on the whole KZread so I can’t express my delight to find this channel! Thank you so much fate for suggesting this video and thank you J for your amazingly talented efforts! Many thanks and blessings to you both🌟
Excellent story and fantastic narrator.

Excellent.
Great idea to have guest narrators, Jasper L'estrange never fails to please. Would you consider two of my favourite KZread narrators, namely Richard Crowest and Edward E French? Both are excellent.

I knew i know this voice from somewhere, 1st second n i am like, wow i know this narator! Yay, so your idea is super, a chanel only with detective stories!
Gosh in todays world this story would be a Dateline episode. 😱
Oh man... Get the Black Dog Chronicles involved-- my three favorite horror narrators on KZread in one? I think I'd p*ss myself haha
Just found your channel with this. The author is new to me (American) so I’ll have to look for his work here.
Jasper could read anything and make it sound interesting!
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.
Villians beware! The superhero team-up of the literary equivalent of Superman & Batman has arrived! Men cheer & women swoon...
I know this voice!!!!!
Narrator is great!!

Holy shiiit when did this happen i muted be in lubetube jail because i heard nothing about this channel 😂
Now THAT was fun!!
What?? I was all excited for a minute.☹️
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!
That was enjoyable, rather good writing in the first place!😊

The narrator
Op
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.
Not to my taste
If you do original stories, set in USA, do Miami, Tampa, etc. Please not NYC or LA.
