The Case of Jennie Brice

The Case of Jennie Brice

I had a hard time getting through this one. The narrator was very intrusive into the story, inserting herself and her ideas into the clues, and didn't take care to share the clues chronologically. It took me weeks to work my way through the book, and the way it doubled back on itself multiple times made it really hard to make out what was really going on. Not one of Rinehart's best efforts, but I did enjoy the boarding-house owner who's the narrator of the tale—just not her fashion of sharing what happened during the flood at her house!
