Author Description
Mysteries of the well-known American writer
Mary Roberts Rinehart
include
The Circular Staircase
(1908) and
The Door
(1930).
People often called this prolific author the American version of
Agatha Christie
. She is considered the source of the phrase "The butler did it," though the exact phrase doesn't appear in her works, and she invented the "Had-I-But-Known" school of mystery writing.
Rinehart wrote hundreds of short stories, poems, travelogues, and special articles. Many of her books and plays were adapted for movies, such as
The Bat
(1926),
The Bat Whispers
(1930), and
The Bat
(1959). Critics most appreciated her murder mysteries.
