In the Fog by Richard Harding DavisMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is clever, and unfortunately the reason that it's clever is a total spoiler.
In a club so exclusive that members don't even mention they belong to it because that would sound boastful, several members are sitting late at night. One is an opponent of a bill in parliament which one of the others, if he speaks to it, will probably get passed. This particular MP has a vice: he loves detective stories, and can't bear to put them down.
One of the other members then starts telling a detective story. Lost in a recent London fog, he stumbled into a house - he's not sure where - and found two people murdered.
It turns out that others of the members also have stories to contribute relating to this murder or the people involved, and the story-telling goes on long into the night...
It's well written, the journey is enjoyable, and the conclusion includes multiple twists, one after another.
