Ten Novels and Three Collections by Mary Roberts Rinehart, Now Available as eBooks

Mysterious Press

Mysterious Press today published ten novels of suspense and three short story collections by Mary Roberts Rinehart as ebooks, the first time many of these have appeared in this format.

Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958) was one of the most popular early mystery authors in the United States. Born in Pittsburgh to a clerk at a sewing machine agency, Rinehart trained as a nurse and married a doctor after her graduation from nursing school. She wrote fiction in her spare time until a stock market crash sent her and her young husband into debt, forcing her to lean on her writing to pay the bills. Her first two novels, The Circular Staircase (1908) and The Man in Lower Ten (1909), established her as a bright young talent, and it wasn't long before she was one of the nation's most popular mystery novelists.

We're listing all thirteen titles released today by Mysterious Press, first published between 1925 and 1952.
