    About this audiobook

    A beautiful girl seeks the help of an attorney when her father, State Treasurer Fleming, vanishes. Before long, her aunt also disappears-from a locked house in the dead of night. The search leads to the infamous White Cat, a seedy nightclub frequented by crooked politicians, where Fleming is found murdered.

    The Window at the White Cat is another in the famous "Had-I-But-Known School" of mysteries founded by Mary Roberts Rinehart with the publication in 1908 of her first work, The Circular Staircase. The focus of these stories is the Gothic heroine-always in the wrong place at the wrong time trusting the wrong people.

A prolific writer, Rinehart was originally educated as a nurse, but turned to writing as a source of income after the 1903 stock market crash.

Roberts died in New York City in 1958.

      I just finished [The Window at the White Cat]. It's a nice old mystery. I think I prefer standalones to series. In a series there's so little that can really happen to the main character. This had some romance and humor. I like the character winking with both eyes because she couldn't manage the one eyed wink. It seems in modern books nice characters are never allowed to be in the inept at anything.

      The Window at the White Cat is the fourth book that I have read by Rinehart, and I must say that I found it just as enjoyable as the others. Rinehart delivers a great story full of twists and turns as a lawyer finds himself employed to find a young woman's missing father only to find himself at the center of several confounding mysteries. The book is a quick, fun read as Rinehart gives the reader a number of suspects, a confusing murder, a mysterious robbery, and a missing woman. The many colorful characters add to the story, and I found myself eagerly turning the pages to see what would happen next. Overall this was a fun read if you like a more traditional who done it.

      The plot and characters are fine but of course t hey are dated. You have to be able accept that to really enjoy the story. The biggest weakness is the narrator. Her bland, mediocre narration is quite soporific.
