Wow, kept me glued to this story. I could vividly picture the characters and the places and the story had a few nice twists

The narrator here was 'extremely good' and the writer was 'on point' for every page of this story. Incredible!!!!!😊

Maugham, as usual, has deep insights into human behaviour
A clever and subtle story.

[@maureenbrophy7852]

Good story. But way too many ads.

Now you’ve got me anxious. It’s that doofy violin player, I expect.

[@diannehill3689]

Too many ads…

[@WVgirl1959]

That's why you need to subscribe to RUclips and then you won't have the ads.

[@rys2754]

Funny, I don't get any ads even though I'm not subscribed to anything. Perhaps it depends where you access it from?
