Much more entertaining than I was expecting. Rinehart knew how to tell a story, and this moves quickly, with red herrings and mystifications strewn all over the place. Very enjoyable, and brief enough not to wear out its welcome.
I really enjoyed this mystery with Rachel Innes being a pleasant and easily likable narrator. Despite its age it did not feel at all dated. I look forward to reading more of Mary Roberts Rhinehart's mysteries.
There were plenty of things I like here, it read more like a Gothic story that your typical murder mystery. But despite all the moments, I didn't like the main character. She starts out with basically being okay with driver over dogs...
But I will look for adaptations of this, might be a nice watch.
I had an audiobook and I think it was a cleaned up version
