About the author
Born in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, in 1876, Mary Roberts Rinehart trained as a nurse before turning to writing. That practical, observant background carried into her fiction, which blended suspense with humor, domestic detail, and a strong sense of character.
Her breakthrough came with The Circular Staircase in 1908, a hugely successful mystery that helped establish her reputation. She went on to become a bestselling novelist and playwright, and she is often remembered as an early giant of American detective and suspense fiction.
Rinehart also worked as a journalist and war correspondent, giving her career a wider reach than fiction alone. She died in 1958, but her stories still stand out for their lively storytelling and their important place in the history of mystery writing.
