"What are you making, Miss Letitia?" Aggie asked Tish sweetly. "Summer clothes? With an upholsterer's needle?" At that very instant there was a thud under our feet and something came "ping" through the floor not six inches from my toe, and lodged in the ceiling. Aggie and I stood looking up. It had made a small round hole over our heads, and a little cloud of plaster dust hung around it. "Somebody shot at us!" declared Aggie, clutching my arm. "That was a bullet!" Best known for her detective novels, Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876-1958) also wrote a widely popular series of amusing stories about a dauntless spinster and her two cohorts . . . including "The Amazing Adventures of Letitia Carberry," "Tish," and "More Tish," |

Contributor Bio(s): Rinehart, Mary Roberts, Avery: - "Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876 - 1958) was an American writer, often called the American Agatha Christie, although her first mystery novel was published 14 years before Christie's first novel in 1920. Rinehart is considered the source of the phrase "The butler did it" from her novel The Door (1930), although the novel does not use the exact phrase. Rinehart is also considered to have invented the "Had-I-But-Known" school of mystery writing, with the publication of The Circular Staircase (1908)." |
