Mary Roberts Rinehart 
The Circular Staircase (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) [EPUB ebook] 

Підтримка

This edition includes a modern introduction and a list of suggested further reading.


Mary Robert Rinehart unravels a story of a summerhouse rental gone dreadfully wrong in the popular 1908 thriller The Circular Staircase.  With page-turning suspense, the tart-tongued Rachel Innes narrates the ghostly noises, suspicious deaths, troubling disappearances, mysterious origins, midnight prowlers, and stolen fortunes in this best-selling mystery.   

 

When The Circular Staircase appeared, Rinehart’s humorous, modern take on the gothic was praised as a new style of mystery writing.  Today, it is prominently included in lists of milestones in detective fiction.  Together with Avery Hopwood, Rinehart recast part of the novel’s plot for their smash-hit 1920 Broadway play The Bat, which was immortalized on the silver screen and influenced the genesis of comic-strip hero Batman.

Про автора

Born on August 12, 1876, in Allegheny, Pennsylvania,
Mary Roberts Rinehart led an active, exciting life that included stints as a student nurse (during the course of which she met and married her surgeon husband, to whom she bore three sons), a World War I correspondent, a suffragette, and an advocate for Native American rights in addition to her long and extremely prolific career as an author.  An avid outdoorswoman, Rinehart endured spartan conditions while pursuing her journalistic and personal adventures, and did not scruple to brandish a gun when hunting a suspected ghost.
