The Circular Staircase

by Mary Roberts Rinehart

About this book

Rachel Innes rents a country house for the summer and soon encounters unexplained intrusions and a murder. With her niece and nephew involved in the household’s troubles, she begins asking questions of her own.

Rinehart mixes suspense with Rachel’s dry account of events that repeatedly overturn her expectations. Hidden movements, family connections, and the architecture of the house all become important to the mystery.
