The Confession (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book includes a bonus narrative in addition to one of Rinehart's most well-known mysteries. The last person anyone would suspect of crime in "The Confession" is elderly Miss Emily Benton. She kindly agrees to let Agnes Blakiston and her housekeeper Maggie live in the Benton house for the summer without paying rent. But the women quickly realize that there is a problem. Curl up with a mystery from the pen of Mary Roberts Rinehart, a brilliant storyteller who was frequently praised as the American equivalent of Agatha Christie of Britain. The best examples of Rinehart's spine-tingling, heart-pounding work can be found in "The Confession." American mystery author Rinehart, whose cleverness and humor are renowned for their work on The Confession, starts the book: Up until this point, only private records existed on the somewhat amazing tale that the Neighborhood Club's experiments revealed. But as a participant in the investigations, he believes that they should be made public-not so much for what they will add to the body of knowledge about psychological research, since from that perspective they were not unusual, but rather as another investigation into the human mind, which is still largely unexplored.

Autorenporträt

American author Mary Roberts Rinehart, sometimes known as the American Agatha Christie, was born on August 12, 1876, and died on September 22, 1958. In 1908, she released The Circular Staircase, her debut mystery book, which included the ""had I but known"" narrative tense. In her book The Door, she is credited with creating the ""the butler did it"" story device (1930). Mary Ella Roberts, who is now known as Rinehart, was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's Allegheny City. She published The Circular Staircase in 1907, the book that made her a household name. She made articles for The Saturday Evening Post that influenced middle-class American taste and behavior. Glen Osborne Borough now has a Mary Roberts Rinehart Nature Park there. Sometimes, Rinehart's business success clashed with her responsibilities as a wife and mother in the home. During World War I, she worked as a war journalist for The Saturday Evening Post, one of her many adventurous pursuits. Rinehart underwent a radical mastectomy as a result of her breast cancer. Her 25-year Filipino cook employee attempted to stab her with knives in 1947. She passed away at the age of 82 at her New York City residence at 630 Park Avenue
