The American Agatha Christie, Mary Roberts Rinehart was a seminal writer in the development of mystery and detective fiction, who introduced the ‘had I but known’ narrative style and ‘the butler did it’ plot device. ‘The Circular Staircase’, her first book and first mystery, was an immediate success and was followed by a series of popular ‘edge-of-your-seat’ murder mysteries.
