When a married couple chance upon a delightful cottage that is being let as a holiday home, it seems too good to be true. Is it?

This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “DEBORAH” by Josephine Tey (1929).

You can hear me discuss this story by becoming a channel member and listening to an upcoming episode of The EnCrypted Postmortem, my bonus show for paying YouTube channel members and Patreon supporters.

CREATOR’S NOTE: These recordings contain sound effects and music because that’s what I personally like to listen to, and what I enjoy making. As you will see from the comments, a lot of the listeners also like it. If it’s not your thing, please feel free to listen to the many other narrators who are voice-only. I’m sure they’ll be glad to hear from you.
