The Circular Staircase -- Mary Roberts Rinehart

<p><em>The Circular Staircase, </em> Mary Roberts Rinehart's classic tale of murder and intrigue in a pre-World War I mansion, is evocative yet strangely modern, a sort of CSI: Downton Abbey, with butlers and maids sprinkled in amongst the bodies and evidence.</p> <p>With elements of romance, white collar crime, class, race, poverty, and privilege, it's a story told with such a deft hand that it will keep you guessing right to the end, all the while keeping you entertained with the trappings of the gilded age and a hint of the supernatural.</p> <p>Sporting its famous 1952 Mapback jacket with original cover painting by Robert Stanley, this new edition from Blackbird Books is a must for all mystery readers.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Mary Roberts Rinehart<br><b>Publisher:</b> Blackbird Books<br><b>Published:</b> 03/15/2013<br><b>Pages:</b> 270<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.68lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.61d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781610530132<p></p>
