4.0 out of 5 stars Miss Pinkerton, July 18, 2007

By	Michael Dea (Calgary, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Miss Pinkerton (Paperback)

Solid Mystery from Marey Roberts Rinehart. Miss Pinkerton is a nurse who is called in to look after old Mrs Mitchell after her desolute nephew commits suicide. Or is it suicide? The Inspector has his doubts, that's why he has called in Miss Pinkerton- to be his eyes and ears on the inside of the Mitchell mansion.
Miss Pinkerton is an interesting literary creation . She is the 'tip of the spear' as it were of the investigation. She is more than just the sidekick narrator to stand between the reader and the detective. She provides input of her own and solves the crime together with Inspector Patton- but she is also the heroine in potential danger, while the police are offstage.
A very enjoyable story from one of the earliest female mystery writers
