Summary

A well-intentioned young female art expert is caught in a snow-storm on a train in the Scottish Highlands.

Will she succumb to his temptations, and who exactly is he?

Interesting Tale

I like a short story that is a bit weird and has something to say and this has that odd twist in the tail element that makes a lot of short stories interesting. There is discussion of acquisition, ownership, and appreciation of art, and the corrupting, selfish effect of getting you hands on something beautiful. It didn't blow me away, but is well worth a read and absolutely held my attention, as well as being one of the better short stories I've heard in the Audible Included library.

The performance is pretty good, despite a seemingly wobbly Scottish accent.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
