London Fog. It's something we've probably all heard of. A few times throughout history, the fog has been so bad it's newsworthy. This story doesn't take place during the actual fog but the day after.
Some men are relaxing in an exclusive club. They spot a man who should be at the House of Commons, and they believe the patriotic thing to do would be to delay him. The man loves a good mystery, so the men decide to tell their stories to him.
I'm not saying more than that. The story is short, and there are some twists in there that surprised me. I really liked it and plan to recommend it to my daughter. She likes mysteries, and I want to know what she thinks.
The original book was written in 1901, so the full text is available in the public domain. I initially downloaded the Google version, but I don't recommend it. There are a few pages that look like scanned book pages while the rest isn't. Also, some of the formatting didn't transfer over well. I wish I'd gotten the Gutenberg version. They're usually fine.
The writing flowed and was easy to read. For this being written in 1901, I was impressed. Good Book!
