The Circular Staircase by Mary Roberts Rinehart



Amazon | Project Gutenberg

This is the story of how a middle-aged spinster lost her mind, deserted her domestic gods in the city, took a furnished house for the summer out of town, and found herself involved in one of those mysterious crimes that keep our newspapers and detective agencies happy and prosperous.

And with that begins a mystery that falls into the entertaining "mysterious house" category. Noises in the night, guests and servants who disappear, reappear, and generally behave oddly...it's all there. One of Rinehart's first novels, likely to entertain lovers of old-fashioned mysteries.
