Summary

Scarhaven Keep is a classic mystery for young adults. When a famous actor goes missing, the search leads playwright Richard Copplestone to the seaside town of Scarhaven. Every clue seems to bring about more questions as the intrigue goes much deeper than anyone suspects. Copplestone uncovers layer after layer of dark secrets, many of them involving the attractive Audrey Greyle and her family. If Copplestone does not discover the truth soon, he risks endangering the lives of the friends he has made in Scarhaven, including Audrey. Fans of golden-era mysteries will delight in J. S. Fletcher’s story, a tightly plotted mystery set in a coastal region of northern England. Several friends and business associates of the missing actor set out to track him down. The trail leads to nearby Scarhaven, where the details of a nefarious plot begin to be revealed. It’s all here for listening pleasure.

Originally published in 1920.

Terrible narration

I am unable to give a proper review of the story as any comprehension is compromised by the terrible narration. The voice is muffled and slurring. Increasing the speed helped a little with the diction but that made any enjoyment of the story very difficult. I very much appreciate the book was free to download but I'm not sure it is worth the space it takes up on the audible catalogue.
