Three Short Stories
The Virtual Mystery Book Group is taking a hiatus for December but it’s already time to start reading the books for our winter theme!

To start off 2023, we’ll delve into some classics of the genre. For Wednesday, January 11th, we’ll read three short stories from the early days of mysteries, by the pioneering authors Arthur Conan Doyle, Maurice Leblanc, and G.K. Chesterton.  All of these stories are out of copyright and thus available online, directly linked below. They are also collected in various anthologies so please let us know if we can help you find a print copy!

Arthur Conan Doyle, “A Scandal in Bohemia” (1891), first published in The Strand magazine

Maurice Leblanc, “The Arrest of Arsene Lupin” (1905), first published in the magazine Je Sais Tout

G. K. Chesterton, “The Hammer of God” from The Innocence of Father Brown (1911)

"While rich businessman Mike O'Connor resides in Virginia, his luxury townhouse in New York City appears vacant. However, in reality, drifter Aloysius "Mac" McKeever has been staying there. Mac invites Jim, an unemployed veteran who has just been evicted from a building owned by O'Connor, to stay at the house without revealing he's squatting. When O'Connor's daughter, Trudy, shows up as well, she falls for Jim and tries to help him."
