5.0 out of 5 stars
if you like vintage mysteries laced with the supernatural....,
By Ray59 (White Haven, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sight Unseen/the Confession (Paperback)
...then this is a great book! It is actually two short novels in one binding, and would serve as an excellent starting point for anyone who has never read a Mary Roberts Rinehart mystery.Her writing style is excellent and timeless. Mysteries and character are central to both novels; supernatural aspects are very subtle and therefore all the more believable. "The Confession" is a wonderful look at the psychology of fear. "Sight Unseen" starts with a seance (a pass-time that was all the rage when this book was written) the unexpected results of which lead to a murder inquiry. To say anything more about either story would reveal too much. If you like a vintage British "country house" kind of mystery, the type Agatha Christie did so well, then here you will enjoy the American equivalent. Mary Roberts Rinehart was very prolific and wrote many types of books. But it is her mysteries that have endured the test of time...and this volume is a great starting point. Also highly recommended from this author: The Red Lamp, The Album, The Case of Jennie Bryce. |
