I was in the mood for a quick mystery and decided to read this one. I didn't know anything about it ahead of time, and it was released in 1908, so it's public domain.
Rachel rents a home for six months, but her regret is real. A dead body and mysterious happenings inside the house threaten her and the young people she considers her children. Suspicions land on those she loves, and the plot has a lot of twists and turns. I don't like to say too much when it comes to mysteries.
I really liked this book. It was well written, and I had no issues following the action. I didn't have the answer figured out, which was neat. Granted, I didn't really have enough information for that to happen, but still...
I didn't realize this, but Rinehart is considered by many to be the 'American Agatha Christie.' This was her first novel, and I wouldn't mind reading more from her. Good Book!
