The Wall (American Mystery Classics) by Mary Roberts Rinehart
Since they were children, Marcia Lloyd and her brother Arthur have spent every summer exploring the grand halls and seaside grounds of their family's idyllic vacation home, a gorgeous mansion built by their grandfather decades before. Now they're adults, and a lifetime of their secrets is held within the house's walls. And this summer, when Arthur's ex-wife Juliette arrives at the estate demanding alimony and later turns up dead, Marcia has every reason to believe that those secrets could be deadlier than she ever could have imagined.
What sordid truths and what violent passions reside behind the Lloyd family's mask of respectability? To find out, Marcia and the local sheriff Russell Shand must work against the clock to find the murderer in the seemingly utopian upper-class hamlet surrounding the estate.
Reprinted for the first time in over twenty years, The Wall is a classic Golden Age murder mystery from "the American Agatha Christie," Mary Roberts Rinehart, inspired by the author's own hauntingly beautiful coastal northeastern home in Bar Harbor, Maine.
Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876 - 1958) was America's most beloved and best-selling mystery writer in the first half of the twentieth century.
