ceoln reviewed The Circular Staircase by Mary Roberts Rinehart
Review of 'The Circular Staircase' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Solid basic country-manor mystery, with murder and key witnesses who have secret motives for not telling all they know. The only twist is that it is told from the viewpoint of one of the (presumably) suspects, rather than the usual detective. Amusingly and/or offensively racist and sexist and classist here and there. Also long-distance telephone calls are a major undertaking, automobiles are new and don't work very well yet, and that sort of thing.
