A review by cemoses
The Bat by Mary Roberts Rinehart

3.0

One of my favorite mysteries of all time was the Yellow Room by Mary Roberts Rihenart and I have yet to read another book by her that is as good.

I was reading it with my husband on a nook. He liked it and we both wondered whether the "Bat" was the inspiration for Batman.

I think the book the Bat was originally a stage play and it reads like one. It is a fun but politically incorrect book(sterotypical Irish maid and Japanese butler) which may have been a result of the times.

However, I was disappointed in the ending in that we never really know who the Bat was.

It was a fun light read.
