The Mystery of a Hansom Cab by Fergus Hume

3.0

Again, this is a book that I will send it to as a radio play cum podcast. It's a product if it's time, being very sexist, but it's a really good story. I think I guessed the murderer pretty darn fast but that's because this is a story that has been used again and again since this book was written.
A drunk man is picked up one night by a hansom cab. He is held up by a man who doesn't seem to recognize the drunkard at first but once he does is astonished. The two get into the hansom cab but only one comes out a lot. At first, the identity of the drunkard who was killed, the man who gets in with him, and the reason for murder are all shrouded in mystery.
