The Stranger in Cottage Number Six | A Miss Marple Mystery

Good evening, dear listeners. Tonight, we return to the English seaside—to a quiet holiday village where nothing is supposed to happen… and yet something always does. Miss Marple, armed with little more than her knitting and her uncanny understanding of human nature, finds herself drawn into a mystery involving a dead man in Cottage Number Six, a former detective with a false name, and a gathering of guests all hiding something. Settle in. Close the curtain against the draught. Let us begin. 📍Tonight’s story: A seaside holiday village in Dorset. A door left open at half past seven. A retired schoolteacher watching the gannets. A woman who no longer asks questions. And one very observant elderly lady who misses nothing. Best enjoyed: – With tea in your favorite mug – While knitting, journaling, or doing nothing at all – In the dark, with only a small lamp on – As you drift toward sleep 💬Tell me in the comments: Where in the world are you listening from tonight? And have you ever stayed somewhere—a cottage, a guesthouse, a small hotel—that felt, quite instinctively, like it was keeping a secret? I read every single one.
