I was going to guess Dorothy Sayers only because I just read up on her for the greatest mystery and thrillers of all time list! Now gotta add another writer to the list... 😃

Her name comes up again and again. I gotta read her but I don’t know which novel to choose. Have you read anything by her of only *about* her?

Only about her! Her books are somewhat hard to find. Amazon or thrift hunting might be the only options.

I DID know about her! I discovered her last year as she had a connection to my home state of Maine. I also published a blog post about her because I was so thrilled to learn about her and her writing career.

That's great! Can you drop a link here? Would love to read your post! (And I'll be curious if you read any of her novels.)

Here is is. https://shelleyburbank.com/vintage-lit-mary-roberts-rinehart-her-maine-connection/

I bought a couple of her books at Bouchercon at a vintage dealer. The Yellow Room and Alibi for Isabel. Haven't read them yet.

I absolutely loved your piece on Rinehart, Shelley. And I want to stay at that inn! Yes please! I’d also really like to find a way to bring more attention to these less-remembered pioneers. Cheers to our American Agatha Christie.
