Rreth këtij libri elektronik
A childhood haven becomes a house of death.
'Rinehart's literary distinction lies in the combination of love, humour and murder that she wove into her tales ... She helped the mystery story grow up' New York Times
Sunset House has been Marcia's summer home for her entire life. Both of her parents died there, and she and her brother spent their youth exploring its rambling hallways and seaside grounds.
They love the old house, but Marcia's sister-in-law has never taken to it. Juliette loathes the sea, and soon comes to loathe her husband, filing for divorce - and demanding alimony that could only be paid by the sale of Sunset House. A few days later Juliette disappears. And a week after that, her body is discovered.
Marcia must work quickly to keep her beloved childhood home from being forever spoiled. Whilst somewhere in Sunset House a murderer plans the next move...

Rreth autorit
Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876-1958) trained as a nurse, and first started writing when she and her husband needed money after the stock market crash. She wrote dozens of highly successful novels, had two hits plays running simultaneously on Broadway, and, acting as a war correspondent, was the first journalist - man or woman - to reach the front during World War I. In addition, Rinehart was a staunch advocate to Congress for the Blackfoot Indians, covered the political conventions of 1916, lived in a haunted house, unearthed German spies, went public with a mastectomy (in 1947) as she wanted as many people as possible to be aware of the largely un-discussed disease cancer. She also survived an attempted murder! Known as 'the American Agatha Christie', she is also credited with inventing the phrase 'the butler did it'.
