Mary Roberts Rinehart is considered to be the American equivalent of Agatha Christie. She is the author of the phrase ôthe butler did itö. Rinehart has written hundreds of short stories, plays, travelogues and special interest articles. When A Man Marries his troubles begin! The old nursery rhyme holds true for Jimmy Wilson. On the anniversary of his divorce, his friends gather to cheer him up. Only everything goes deadly wrong. ôIt began with Jimmy Wilson and a conspiracy, was helped on by a foot-square piece of yellow paper and a Japanese butler, and it enmeshed and mixed up generally ten respectable members of society and a policeman. Incidentally, it involved a pearl collar and a box of soap, which sounds incongruous, doesn't it?ö

Rinehart's works were widely popular during her lifetime, and she was a significant figure in the early development of the modern mystery novel. She married Dr. Stanley Rinehart in 1896, and the couple had four children: Stanley Jr., Alan, Frederick, and Elizabeth.
