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.

[@Audiobookofenglishnovel-wc7hl]

yeah exactly . i feel really fresh to hear this audiobook . for more romantic and classical stories you can visit my KZbin channel.

[@violetfemme411]

YES! It's awesome that we have Jasper taking part in this. He's incredibly talented and needs more exposure 💜

[@CleoHarperReturns]

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!

[@stephaniestevenson6335]

Two of Jasper 's narrations in two days?!? Life is good! Thanks so much to Tony for another great channel!

[@Story-Voracious66]

Ooh ooh ooh! Jasper on Tony's channel! This is great; my two favourite narrator/authors on one broadcast. 😁❣️🕵🏼

[@user-cf2np4gd9l]

What a treat. Just an awesome collaboration. 10/10 guys.

[@SandyBrrr]

Ecstatic to hear Jasper's dulcet tones on this one. ❤❤❤ This collaboration could be habit-forming. Awesomeness 😁

[@rosekennedy3482]

Yes 😊

[@thurayya8905]

Jasper read this so well I forgot he wasn't you and popped right into the story.

[@jannythewonderwomen2215]

This was wonderful. Thank you so much

[@rebeccawoolfolk5377]

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 KZbin channels.

[@EnCryptedClassicHorror]

Phew! 😅 Thanks Rebecca!

[@classicdetective]

He is !

[@ginabeena6757]

Yay Jasper!! ❤️🤗

[@roxyabrooks864]

I'm so happy for this! Thank you very much 🎉

[@medicalmisinformation]

For 25 yrs wondered what "www" stood for & now know: "Whirling White Wilderness!" Thanks...

[@allysonlewis1576]

I absolutely love this gentleman’s voice. Splendidly narrated. Great story. I am glad I stumbled upon this excellent story. Thank you

[@neilgodfrey6578]

I'm here for Jasper, best narrator i know (followed closely by Tony of course).

[@user-zn7of3bd6o]

Thank you 😊

[@SleepytimeChronicles68]

This is gorgeous. Nice job. 😊😊😊😊😊

[@classicdetective]

Thank you! 😊

[@woolybullybananapeel8642]

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!🐙

[@shiva72945]

So happy I found you. Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@ConfigurationQueen]

Oh, I like that ending, where Janet ends up thinking about (spoiler).

[@heather.k]

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 ❤

[@riverbilly64]

13 December 2023 - Listening from Kentucky. Great tale!

[@LucicPower]

My 2 go to guys for a LONG time

[@clairegreenaway9653]

Love you both Jasper and Tony !

[@ConfigurationQueen]

Here via Encrypted podcast, looking forward to the Christmas mystery!

[@aneagleinyourmind2415]

Omg Tony and Jasper together!?!? I never thought I’d see the day where my 2 favorite narrators did a collab ❤❤❤❤ this is incredible!!!

[@AliceJones-yc1kh]

Oh goodness, I just in awe of these listening programs.

[@ddouglas1090]

This is wonderful! Very well done!

[@Laura-tp8wz]

Thanks

[@michellebastiani6470]

Oh it's Jasper! I love hearing him on another channel. He's superb 🖤☠️❄️

[@hilaryeales1268]

Happiness ❤

[@seamusheinousproductions]

Crossover alert! This is brilliant. More collaborations please

[@labfritts]

Thanks!

[@classicdetective]

Thank you very much

[@annettejohnston8653]

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.

[@TedaR]

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. 👍🏼❤️

[@StalinLovsMsmZioglowfagz]

Yeah, I didn’t know you had this chan, either, T. Jasper told us and I subbed up. Cheers

[@justinepenman6081]

Much enjoyed

[@terryi.6973]

Villians beware! The superhero team-up of the literary equivalent of Superman & Batman has arrived! Men cheer & women swoon...

[@lisahinton9682]

I really enjoyed this. I came across the recommendation, randomly, in the comments section of another KZbin video (food-related) and was curious, so here I am. Well worth it; thank you very much.

[@paulawakefield7869]

👌Great voice.

[@ConfigurationQueen]

Also, serendipititiously is a perfectly cromulent word.

[@vickijoseph2731]

Loved this!!!❤❤❤

[@thegreencat9947]

Hello...this is right down my alley. 😀

[@rosiemcnaughton9933]

Ahhh, so glad I found this. Jasper is a favorite, and Tony is too! Great combination! Thanks to you both. Looking forward to more detective stories.

[@alicetatman6411]

First time listener, but it won't be my last. Thank you so much. Jasper is awesome.

[@classicdetective]

Our pleasure!

[@mariameere5807]

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 KZbin 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🌟

[@marlbboro8091]

Gosh in todays world this story would be a Dateline episode. 😱

[@monyacline2067]

This was great. Thank you

[@chrissy529]

The narrating of this story makes it Unique. Especially the role of the female.

[@samnelson2343]

I recognised that voice! Great crossover😊

[@soulair3038]

Thank you

[@roelienpostma2367]

What an atmosphere! Realy original story!!!

[@cressidapotter6331]

Excellent and very well read.

[@lyndaa7560]

Loved this, both the story & the narration, Many thanks xx

[@classicdetective]

Our pleasure!

[@MND139]

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

[@classicdetective]

I would if they would

[@pisiata3651]

Ed French is one of my very fav!! I must search for the other man you gave not sure i know him.

[@JohnJames-be4qe]

Excellent story and fantastic narrator.

[@classicdetective]

He is!

[@JennyLane8666]

Oh man... Get the Black Dog Chronicles involved-- my three favorite horror narrators on KZbin in one? I think I'd p*ss myself haha

[@beckymartin1810]

Jasper I didn’t know you had another channel! New subscriber

[@pisiata3651]

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!

[@melodymacken9788]

Excellent.

[@susanotway7875]

Thanks! Very enjoyable.

[@classicdetective]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@aneagleinyourmind2415]

Is this Jasper???????

[@StalinLovsMsmZioglowfagz]

Yup

[@EnCryptedClassicHorror]

👀

[@classicdetective]

yes it is

[@kirtknierim3687]

Love your choices!

[@lisalewis912]

​@@EnCryptedClassicHorror38:41

[@candiceheathercoates9649]

Jasper could read anything and make it sound interesting!

[@juliadia007]

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!

[@ElaineOddsoxxx1]

I know this voice!!!!!

[@juliadia007]

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.

[@brigittewengert-rothmaier6856]

Really great! Thanks from Germany!

[@classicdetective]

Our pleasure!

[@TheDriftwoodlover]

Just found your channel with this. The author is new to me (American) so I’ll have to look for his work here.

[@williamt5837]

Now THAT was fun!!

[@Jackielocks]

What?? I was all excited for a minute.☹️

[@maureenball6733]

That was enjoyable, rather good writing in the first place!😊

[@classicdetective]

Thank you! 😄

[@Bambisgf77]

Wow! Just found your channel, excellent narration! New sub ❤🎉

[@classicdetective]

Welcome aboard! Thanks 🙏

[@krisainsworth239]

Narrator is great!!

[@classicdetective]

Jasper!

[@FIONA21ful]

My daughter jas recently named her first baby boy Jasper. Great classic name.

[@classicdetective]

I love it!

[@rayrae204]

😮

[@mijiyoon5575]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@reporebo]

The narration and story are not fantastic! Loving this new channel Tony

[@classicdetective]

Thanks for listening

[@user-jl8mp6lg4i]

8min 47sec…

[@annamarielewis7078]

Okay, who is Jasper❓

[@classicdetective]

He’s the man narrating this story

[@doctorseuss5349]

Chocolate cake cookie crumbs.

[@user-jl8mp6lg4i]

2024

[@marietomkinson5910]

Sorry people,who is Jasper???

[@classicdetective]

The narrator

[@janecheyne2943]

Op

[@-Reagan]

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.

[@electrictofumuffins6384]

If you do original stories, set in USA, do Miami, Tampa, etc. Please not NYC or LA.

[@classicdetective]

i’m not sure i’d feel qualified to do a detective story

[@martygreg798]

Not to my taste

[@patsysmith540]

Phenomenal.

[@-Reagan]

So relieved!! For a moment I thought someone might’ve made an AI of Jasper or stolen his work... obviously, AI could never; I needn’t have worried 😅 Ahh Jasper 🤍

[@classicdetective]

No AI could replace him!
