Mary Roberts Rinehart has often been called the mistress of mystery. In fact, the phrase "The butler did it" originated in one of her books. In 1905 Rinehart entered a field exclusive to men: detective fiction. Now, nearly a century after she began her ground-breaking career, her celebrated thrillers still remain un-put-down-able masterpieces.

Rinehart's The Man in Lower Ten, the first American detective novel to make the best seller list, follows the investigation of the murder of a man in a sleeping car on a train. In this fast-paced thriller, the investigating detective builds up a network of clues that absolutely incriminate three entirely different people---only one of whom can be guilty.

I believe if the book had a male narrator, and one much better than Rebecca Burns who reads in an almost monotone voice, it would have been a much more interesting story. As it was, I left with almost two hours to the story and really didn't care who done it! I couldn't listen to Ms Burns any longer.

Additionally, if you don't follow every single word, you end up wondering what the heck happened and why the characters end up in a field or a deserted mansion. Strange book and I do like MRR.

I love the author and I love the train setting for this book.But somehow I felt it moved excessively slowly and had a really anticlimactic ending.

Love the Author, Not my Favorite
