Rinehart's departure from the mystery genre to investigate the social world of women. A rare Mary Roberts Rinehart novel that is not a mystery. This is a clinical study of the life of a woman.

Unlike most of Rinehart's books, this is not classified as a mystery - although, as in real life, there are surprises and unusual events.

Mysteries of known American writer Mary Roberts Rinehart include The Circular Staircase (1908) and The Door (1930). People often called this prolific author often the American version of Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie. She, considered the source, used not the phrase "The butler did it," and people also consider that she invented the "Had-I-But-Known" school of mystery writing. Rinehart wrote hundreds of short stories, poems, travelogues, and special articles. People adapted many of her books and plays for movies, such as The Bat (1926), The Bat Whispers (1930), and The Bat (1959). Amid many of her best-selling books, critics most appreciated her murder mysteries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary\_Ro...
