About this listen

A short story from British Library Crime Classic Deep Waters.

Detective John Bell plans to have a well-earned rest when he is invited to holiday with his friends the Ridsdales upon their houseboat on the Thames. But when Lady Ridsdale’s diamond bracelet is stolen in the night, his holiday is cut short and he must determine who amongst their party could be responsible.
