The After House, with eBook Audiobook

" Great boy gets girl is hidden among the murder mystery story. It held my interest, and had a great cast of characters to keep track of. My lack of knowledge for a sea worthy vocabulary was affirmed by the main characters wing man. "

" This was a pretty good mystery. I really couldn't figure out who did it. The story did drag a couple of times, but overall it was good. My only real complaint is that I had a hard time figuring out what time period it was set in. Finally near the end we actually get a date. "

" The first half of this book is amazing: atmospheric, mysterious, enthralling. By the time the boat reaches the shore, it all goes wrong. The courtroom scene just retells in boring detail everything we already know, and the unmasking of the murderer is ridiculous. Still, great beginning! "

" Disappointed in The Circular Staircase by the same author, I thought I would give Rinehart another try. The After House was more enjoyable, perhaps because the main character is more sympathetic---a young doctor, just out of medical school, who while waiting for his medical appointment and needing money goes to sea as a common deck hand. At sea, several murders in rapid succession put the doctor in charge of the dwindling crew and the investigation. This novel is fast-paced and exciting, though there's not enough information for the reader to play along and solve the mystery. Upholds Rinehart's reputation as a good storyteller. "

" I really enjoyed this one; perhaps it benefited from not being set in a rented country house? Sadly, this marks the last of the Rinehart novels available in the public domain, and so now on to other authors. "

" This was a really good story, and one I enjoyed quite a bit.. "

" Enjoyable, but the ending seemed to come out of nowhere. "

" A murder mystery set on a cursed yacht in the 1930s. A fun, quick read, with a twist or two! "

" It was okay. The ending felt really rushed, like she hurried to finish the book. It ended too nicely for me. "

" The ending seemed so irrelevant to the whole story...... "

" Good story, but had some dull slow spots. "

" Old school type detective novel. Not too bad. "

" The beginning was awesome, but the second half was just ridiculous. "

" loved this book, a mystery, slightly creepy, but not to scary, I wish the book was longer "

" When Rinehart is good, she's very good. And when she's bad, she's horrid. This was a tedious story with a very unsatisfying ending. She tells the same details over and over. The criminal is caught, not because of clever clue-hunting and deduction, but by sheer accident. "

" Good vintage Mary Roberts Rinehart "

" Well-written and suspenseful, but a disappointing ending. "

" I hope no one chooses this as their first MRR to read! They'll never want to try another one. The "solution" to the AH was downright cheesy. Skip this one! "

" A fun mix of suspense and sea story. "

" Sometimes slow paced. It seemed like there was a lot of build up to a quickly passed over ending. Still a good story. I didn't know it could be hot on a sailboat out on the open ocean. "
