Description

Mary Roberts Rinehart was a name that not many people knew before this book was written. The illustrious author of exciting mystery novels practically began her career with The Circular Staircase, the book becoming an instant hit and propelling her to the top of the ladder among some of the biggest names of the genre.

Mystery fiction is less than straightforward in most cases, but with Rinehart’s clarity and impressive writing skills, The Circular Staircase basically looks like a novel that many fans of the genre would enjoy even today.

The story is that of Rachel, a spinster who has had custody of her niece and nephew, Gertrude and Halsey, ever since they were small children, after their parents’ death. Rachel took them in, and practically raised them as her own.

One day, after reaching adulthood, they convinced their aunt to rent a countryside house for the summer. This is when everything seems to change. After a murder, the disappearance of Halsey and the presence of a strange trespasser, it seems like the scene has been set for a seemingly inexplicable puzzle. Will Rachel be able to solve it before it’s too late? The Circular Staircase is about as close to a modern day thrilling mystery tale as novels in the early 20th century could get. The story has not only been an inspiration for many later authors and movie directors, but has also been turned into a successful movie down the line.

Rinehart manages to create a world of suspense and surprising outcomes, with characters who seem to have the ability to think and act for themselves. You never really know what the next move will be, or what to expect the protagonists to have to face. With descriptions and highly dynamic plot elements that will keep you at the edge of your seat, there is very little you won’t enjoy as you continue reading this excellent book from cover to cover.
