The Scandal at Rosebury Cottage | A Miss Marple Mystery

A chilling Miss Marple village mystery set in late-autumn St Mary Mead, where the quiet death of a well-liked woman and a hidden letter found behind a cottage mantel disturb the village’s carefully maintained certainty. When a sealed envelope from another era resurfaces—kept, not destroyed—Miss Marple senses that fear, not forgetfulness, has shaped the past, and that some doors were closed very deliberately.

Told in a calm, Agatha Christie–inspired style, this Miss Marple mystery explores old agreements forged in silence, burdens quietly accepted to protect others, and the way villages collaborate—often unconsciously—to keep uncomfortable truths in order. Ideal for listeners who enjoy reflective, emotionally restrained mysteries, gentle village puzzles, and stories where the true tension lies not in violence, but in memory, responsibility, and the choices people make to preserve respectability at a human cost.
