Shelly Frasier
The spirited and headstrong spinster is not easily fazed until one stormy night when she stumbles on a corpse. She musters all her nerves to play the vicious killer's deadly game and confront the Bat once and for all. The Bat, which draws from The Circular Staircase but adds some new plot complexities - namely the villainous Bat - shows Rinehart at the height of her career and is considered her greatest work.

Reseñas editoriales
The creator of Batman, Bob Kane, has cited the title character in this novel from America’s first great mystery writer, Mary Roberts Rinehart, as the inspiration for the "caped crusader".
The Bat, co-written by Avery Hopwood in 1920, is about an unidentified criminal genius who has stolen over a million dollars and left a trail of murder victims. When wealthy spinster Cornelia Van Gorder arrives in her country house, she discovers that The Bat is rumored to be in the area. Soon, mysterious people begin showing up in her house.
Shelly Frasier brings a theatrical flair to her performance as she accentuates the fun in Rinehart’s colorful characters and hardboiled prose.

Great Book

Since these days I most enjoy the bloodless mystery or detective story wherein bodies are simply props for the story not gory messes to be dissected, this book was quite satisfying as was the reader. Those who prefer modern variants of the hard boiled school or heroes and heroines who are no better, but just tougher, than the bad guys, should go elsewhere as should those who can't abide stereotyped characters who bemoan their fate and fall to pieces (loudly) in crisis. Drop some of your modern cynicism and sophistication and you will get a good couple of evenings from this book.
Good radio drama
