This is a short high octane story originally titled 'Trapped'. In 1910 Conan Doyle was thinking about constructing a play out of the story but it never came to pass. However you can feel the dramatic bones of it and it's a bit of a standalone There's something a bit Hitchcockian about it, in that it seems like a scene that Alfred might have assembled - well, that's what I thought of anyway. Lifeboat?
Anyway, rather fun, rather dark with some light relief as it progresses.
What do you think?
It's read as per by Greg Wagland for Magpie Audio in 2023.
