Murder on the Ashcott Branch Line I A Clement Trove Mystery

Step into a quiet English county between the wars, where the houses are too large to heat and every family keeps something small out of sight. This full-length mystery follows Mr. Clement Trove, a valuer of estates, as he moves slowly through drawing rooms, servants' halls and cold market squares, writing down everything he finds. Listeners will notice the warm lamplight of a country auction room, the mist lying in the water meadows at first light, the rain against tall windows, and the grey cat asleep on whatever happens to be the most valuable thing present. If you enjoy classic golden-age detective fiction — the kind that unfolds gently over tea, among people who all have something to hide — this story is made for unhurried listening. Every clue is spoken aloud, nothing is graphic, and nothing will wake you. It is well suited to bedtime, to knitting or stitching, to a long quiet evening, or to any hour when you would rather be somewhere slower than the one you are in. The final gathering takes place in the drawing room of the house itself, with every object returned to the place it has always stood, and the inventory read aloud from the beginning.
