1.TishTish
from Raleigh St. Clair Books

Customer Review:
Read the Circular Staircase last night and had to start on Tish right then! Mary Roberts Rinehart is my new favorite author. This book is funny and as good read today as it was when first published. I wish I could have met her, both Tish and Mary.

from Raleigh St. Clair Books

Customer Review:
I'm woman enough to admit this old tale got me a bit teary-eyed. But isn't that the sign of a good book, when you come to care so much about fictional characters?
It's the very beginning of World War I, before America enters the fighting. Sara Lee Kennedy is a young Pennsylvanian woman whose... more info

5.A Strange DisappearanceA Strange Disappearance

Customer Review:
I'm a big fan of Victorian mysteries, but this one let me down. The author was supposedly the inspiration for writers such as Wilkie Collins, Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, etc. That's like calling a cave painting the inspiration for the Mona Lisa. The story was clumsy, totally unrealistic,... more info

6.When a Man MarriesWhen a Man Marries
from Raleigh St. Clair Books

Customer Review:
I enjoyed this book and I'm coming to enjoy Mary Rinehart's style of writing. It's a shame she's been sort of forgotten nowadays when she was a best selling author way back at the beginning of the 20th century.
The story is a comedy of errors among the privileged class. Society gal Kit McNair... more info

7.The Adventures of Sherlock HolmesThe Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Customer Review:
Entertaining collection of Sherlock Holmes vignettes from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Each chapter challenges the reader to solve the crime before Holmes but the reader sometimes finds themselves in Watson's shoes trying to figure out where Holmes got his answers. Well worth the read.

9.An AutobiographyAn Autobiography
from Dodd Mead

Customer Review:
Some of Agatha Christie's fans may complain that this autobiography does not tell them the things they really want to know, such as why Christie briefly disappeared after her first husband confessed his infidelity, or how one can write successful mystery stories.
But near the conclusion of this... more info

10.The Mill MysteryThe Mill Mystery

Customer Review:
Anna Katherine Green (1846-1935) was known for her complex plots, and the plot is the best thing about this book. There's no real development of several of the main characters. They just plunge into their adventures with glittering eyes and pounding hearts.
Initially the mystery revolves around... more info
