( ) I'd been wanting to read some books by early crime/mystery writers that I'd heard of but never read before. This particular book popped up as a free title for my Kindle so I gave it a try without knowing how representative it was of Rinehart's novels. I'm glad that I read it and I hope to research Rinehart's works to learn more about her style of crime writing. I just finished [The Window at the White Cat]. It's a nice old mystery. I think I prefer standalones to series. In a series there's so little that can really happen to the main character. This had some romance and humor. I like the character winking with both eyes because she couldn't manage the one eyed wink. It seems in modern books nice characters are never allowed to be in the inept at anything. So when Hawes announced a lady, I took my feet off my desk, put down the brief I had been reading, and rose perfunctorily. With my first glance at my visitor, however, I threw away my cigar, and, I have heard since, settled my tie. That this client was different was borne in on me at once by the way she entered the room. She had poise in spite of embarrassment, and her face when she raised her veil was white, refined, and young. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML: Known as the American Agatha Christie, Mary Roberts Rinehart wrote romances in addition to the mysteries with which she rose to widespread acclaim. The Window at the White Cat contains elements of both genres, focusing on a misbegotten love triangle that veers wildly toward a tragic end. When a less-than-ethical politico is found dead, attorney Jack Knox attempts to shake himself from his lovelorn stupor and solve the crime. .Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
