We've had several days of rain lately and it has been much appreciated. My favorite rainy day activity is curling up with a good book. Especially a good mystery. Lately I've been re-reading some of my old favorites, including a few Mary Roberts Rinehart.
Mary Roberts Rinehart (August 12, 1876-September 22, 1958) was a prolific author often called the American Agatha Christie. "Dorothy B. Hughes, crime critic and novelist, says she 'has been and continues to be' the most important American woman mystery writer." She is considered the source of the phrase "The butler did it", although she did not actually use the phrase herself, and also considered to have invented the "Had-I-But-Known" school of mystery writing.

What are you reading these days?

I'm working on a list of books/authors to read while I'm recuperating. I love a good mystery. I havent' really been in a reading mood lately for some reason tho.
ReplyDeleteI'm on the third book in the Twilight series - they're very different from my ususal stuff but I wanted to see what the hype was about. I'm not sure why everyone has raved about them - they are interesting but not what I expected. blessings, marlene
ReplyDeletePatty, sure hope you are feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteMarlene, I've never read the Twilight Series. Maybe I will check one out at the library to see what it is like.
