"The Wall" That Made Me Read.......2006-08-28
Some say that Mary Roberts Rinehart is the American Agatha Christie. If I were an avid reader, I might concur, but alas, I am not even close to an avid reader of mystery or any other category of book. HOWEVER, this woman wrote a mystery that drew me in like a vacuum and then kept me interested enough until I had read the entire work. "The Wall" is the work of which I speak. When it was first in my hands, I was a young lad in my teens. I aged, gathered wisdom until they gave me a title, saw the world, worked, partied, married, had sons who then made sons, and then I rested. Through all of that, I made sure to accomplish something that I have bragged about many times. I never read a book, completely. Even when it was required that I do so, I made sure to stop short of reading book totally by stopping at the next to the last page, the next to the last paragraph, or at times skip and entire chapter if I thought it might be fluff and add nothing to the experience. In order to sustain my wretched reading reputation, I did not read the last page of "The Wall". It was simply the conclusion statement by the story's narrator in the form of opinion about events that lead to the mystery's demise.
I still can say that any book ever in my hands has never been read, stem to stern, word after word. "The Wall" by Marry Roberts Rinehart is the on and only book that holds the title of being the one volume that just about made a fool of me. Now, give all of this serious consideration when you think about this author and the one story of hers that has a great secret power. Oh and by the way, I married a librarian but if you think that has made a reader of me, think again. NOT!

Nothing escaped Carlotta's eyes--the younger girl's radiance, her confusion, even her operating room uniform and what it signified. How she hated her, with her youth and freshness, her wide eyes, her soft red lips! And this engagement--she had the uncanny divination of fury.

Book Description
1929. American writer of mystery novels known for their humor and ingenuity. The novel begins: By the bequest of an elder brother, I was left enough money to see me through a small college in Ohio, and to secure me four years in a medical school in the East. Why I chose medicine I hardly know. Possibly the career of a surgeon attracted the adventurous element in me. Perhaps, coming of a family of doctors, I merely followed the line of least resistance. It may be, indirectly but inevitably, that I might be on the yacht Ella on that terrible night of August 12, more than a year ago. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

With the disappearance of Schwartz, the Ella was short-handed: I believe Captain Richardson made an attempt to secure me to take the place of Burns, now moved up into Schwartz's position. But the attempt met with a surly refusal from Turner.

Good Book, But Cheats.......2006-02-18
Although I thoroughly enjoyed the fast pace and chilling story, I was struck by how this book completely disregards the most fundamental rule in mystery stories: giving readers enough clues (no matter how twisted or incidental) to actually solve the crime on their own. I can't say more without spoiling the end of the novel, but I think this book would have made for a more satisfying read had the author played a little more fairly with her audience. As it is, I would highly recommend this book as a good horror novel, but not as a mystery.
Fun To Read.......2003-07-12
This book, written in 1914, is great fun to read. The plot is relatively simple and the number of suspects limited. What adds to the fun are the mores of the early 20th century and how they differ from our own.
Chilling.......1999-12-16
This was the first book I ever read by Ms. Rinehart and it was a thrilling surprise. It would make an excellent film. The novel takes place on a ship where an axe murderer is on the loose and it has remnants of Agatha Christie's "And Then There Was None" It's a quick, exciting read and I highly recommend it.

Book Description
Driven by a sense of duty and a fear of monotony, Sara Lee leaves her comfortable life and fianci in Philadelphia to serve the Red Cross in Belgium during WWI. The spirited heroine finds a niche for herself helping wounded soldiers. She meets a mysterious gentleman and falls into a haunting romance.
The Amazing Interlude is a bittersweet journey that draws from Mary Rinehart's own experience as a World War I correspondent. Fusing fiction with fact, she deftly portrays an exhilarating tale of an honorable woman's determination to make a difference in a time of tumultuous war.
Download Description
The end of December, 1914, found Sara Lee quite contented. If it was resignation rather than content, no one but Sara Lee knew the difference. Knitting, too; but not for soldiers. She was, to be candid, knitting an afghan against an interesting event which involved a friend of hers.
