heidenkind's review against another edition
Not as good as The Man In Lower Ten, although similar in a lot of ways. Also, I thought it was way too long. But still a fun read. Grumpy old ladies FTW.

I really liked this fun, witty Edwardian mystery, set in a New York-like imaginary city. Good twists and turns, and more bohemian/unconventional characters than you'd expect.

The descriptive writing from another era can be a bit surprising at times!

How much am I enjoying downloading little-remembered early twentieth century mysteries for free on my Kindle? Quite a lot. In this one, I found that the a lot of the supporting character blurred together a bit - was that square-jawed man a detective or a politician? - but it was a nice mix of murder and politics.

Just not a fan of the "Had I But Known School." So, I know, why did I buy it and read it? Because I'm a book-aholic and can't resist a first edition pocket size mystery.

I just don’t love mysteries. She says it right in the book—female readers “care a great deal more for the love story than for all the crime and mystery put together.” Gross stereotype aside, that’s me.
I liked some of the humor early in the book; she knows how to turn a phrase. Just not the genre for me.

The Window At The White Cat
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Mystery
244 pages
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Her name is synonymous with ingenious mystery. She is
the author of over sixty chilling masterworks, and her
millions of fans are a testament to her unequaled
skill at weaving intrigue adn villainy into
spine-tingling tales of suspence...
The Window At The White Cat
Attorney Jack Knox adored the beautiful Margery
Fleming, but unfortuntely she adored teh
less-than-reputable Harry Wardrop. If that wasn't
enough of a headache for Jack, Margery's father, a
corrupt poltician named Allen Fleming, suddenly
vanished. And when he discovered Fleming's body at the
shoddy social club called the White Cat, things took a
decidedly nasty turn.
While Jack went looking for answers, Margery took
refuge with her two eccentic aunts, Lavina and Jane.
Now, in addtion to trying to find Fleming's killer,
Jack was faced with the sudden, disappearance of Aunt
Jane. There was only one clue left behind--a bloody
hadnprint. Who would want to kill Aunt Jane and why?
Jack is sure of only one thing--he has to put the
pieces of this baffling puzzle together before someone
starts searching for his remains.
