A short story from the British Library Crime Classic collection The Edinburgh Mystery. A busy practising barrister who also served as a judge, Cyril Hare also found time to publish nine detective novels and approximately 40 short stories, including Thursday’s Child, which takes the listener to the island of Cara, the west coast of Kintyre in Scotland. When a businessman from London tries to buy the island, the mysterious, lone inhabitant of the island’s interest is immediately piqued.

There's nothing like well written short fiction. It's not an easy task to pack a punch with a minimum of words, but Cyril Hare a.k.a. Alfred Alexander Gordon Clark does exactly that with a nice twist at the end of this clever story.

The narrator does an excellent job.
