About this listen

A short story from British Library Crime Classic The Christmas Card Crime and Other Stories.

'It’s not a scientific mind you need in the legal profession,' he insisted; 'it’s a kind of artistic gift. You’ve got to be imaginative.'

As Sir Leonard Huntercombe tells the elaborate story of one of his clients, listeners will love piecing together this strange locked-room mystery set on a sleeper train to Aberdeen.
