Review: The Confession

The Confession by Mary Roberts Rinehart reminds me of a similar book written by the same author, namely The Circular Staircase. Some of the similarities are that the story teller is an mature woman who moves to the country with servants and family and rents a home for the summer sometime after the turn of the century. There are some strange things that can't be accounted for, including a suspicion of murder. In this short story, however, the significant difference is fear; to recognize it, cope with it, manage it and finally overcoming it to solve the mystery. This is a well done mystery by a very accomplished author. If you enjoyed The Circular Staircase as I did, then you will surely enjoy this as well.
