I haven't read any of these

Mary Robert Rinehart' The Man in Lower Ten looks interesting and was reprinted in 2002, so I might try to get it.

I actually own Trail of the Lonesome Pine, which reminds me I need to scan the cover!

Mary Roberts Rinehart wrote the "If-I-Had-Only-Known" genre of thrillers/mysteries, where the main character reminisces about the events of the book by saying "If I had only known what was behind that door, I wouldn't have opened it." and suchlike things.

I've read the Covered Wagon but not 54-40 or Fight by Hough.

I've read and might even own The Man in Lower Ten by Mary Roberts Rinehart; considering the time at which she wrote, she really was a remarkable woman. Certainly her unique style see message 6 irritates a little and has aged but her stories are suspensful and exciting even now, over a century later.
