2 posts | 3 read | 7 to read
A supernatural mystery set in an old seaside house from the #1 New York Timesbestselling author known as the American Agatha Christie. Though he likes to joke about the spirit world, William Porter does not really believe in ghosts. As a professor, he cannot afford to take seriously that which goes bump in the night. But his wife, Jane, is prone to visions, like the one she had last summer about Williams uncle Horace lying dead on the floora dream that came just hours before they got the news that the old man had passed away. A year later, William plans to spend the summer at his recently inherited beachfront property with Jane, but a feeling of psychic dread gives her hesitation, and William will later regret convincing her to go. The house is musty, eerie, and littered with supernatural portentsmost chillingly, the faint red light that glows in the wee hours. If they dont escape soon, William and his wife may be visiting the spirit world themselves.

A #Supernatural mystery, written in 1925, about a literature professor (and all-around skeptic) who inherits a supposedly haunted seaside manor.

Mary Roberts Rinehart (“the American Agatha Christie”) was the best-selling mystery author in the first half of the 20th century in the US and is credited with creating the phrase, “the butler did it” (although she never actually wrote it). 😄
