Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876β1958) was a novelist and playwright best known for her mystery stories, which combined humor with ingenuity. The success of her novels The Circular Staircase and The Man in Lower Ten established her reputation as an important American mystery writer. At one time she was the highest paid writer in America. In addition to mysteries, she wrote comic tales, plays, romances, and travel books, some of which reflected her experiences as a correspondent during World War I. One critic called her autobiography, My Story, her finest book.
Angie Hickman has been in love with words for as long as she can remember. Angie received a BA in secondary English education from Indiana University while also pursuing theater, performing in shows from Shakespeare to Pinter. She expanded her passion for words through her work in libraries and bookstores, as a high school English teacher, and now, as an audiobook narrator. When she's not sitting in a tiny padded room and letting the voices in her head come out to play, Angie enjoys playing in the dirt growing veggies and getting lost in her fabric collection while sewing.
