Mystery,

This review is from: Twenty-Three and a Half Hours' Leave (Classic Reprint) (Paperback)
I like Mary Roberts Rinehart a lot and have read many, many of her books and stories. Glad to be able to read this story, but found the reprint less than desirable. Doesn't seem professionally done, but I had not ever seen this story before and it was the only copy/format available. Will pass it on.
