The Circular Staircase (1908) is a mystery novel in the "Had I but known" genre by American author Mary Roberts Rinehart. She wrote the book, which became her first best-seller, at her home at 954 Beech Avenue in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, now part of Pittsburgh. The "HIBK" genre is associated with several works of M. R. Rinehart, specifically The Circular Staircase, in which "a middle-aged spinster is persuaded by her niece and nephew to rent a country house for the summer. The house they choose belonged to a bank defaulter who had hidden stolen securities in the walls. The gentle, peace-loving trio is plunged into a series of crimes solved with the help of the aunt. This novel is credited with being the first in the 'Had-I-But-Known' school."
A silent film version was made in 1915, and a TV version was produced for the TV series Climax! in 1956'.' [From Wikipedia]

4 (Muito bom)

Um bom livro de investigação policial! Deixou muitas pontas e achei que fosse difícil fechar todas elas, mas olha… no final, tudo foi explicado, talvez de uma forma rápida e mais simples, mas nada ficou para trás.
Alguns mistérios são fáceis de descobrir, outros são bem mais difíceis e por isso o livro te desafia ao mesmo tempo que agrada o seu intelecto.
