Miss Pinkerton by Mary Roberts Rinehart
4.0

4 Stars - I recommend if you enjoy classic mysteries.

Night nurse Hilda Adams is often called to help observe crime scenes and help solve mysteries. When someone is found dead at the Mitchell Manor, she is called to look after Miss Juliet, matron of the house. The death looks like a suicide, but is it that cut and dry?

I have only read one classic mystery, but the cover and background of this book drew me in. I immediately liked the writing style, it's very accessible, and fairly quick to read. The short chapters and endings of each chapter really keep you reading as well, even though older mysteries tend to be slower in nature. I often find myself bored with mysteries, or working it all out too quickly. Neither was the case with this one. I am excited to read more of the series now, and maybe even watch the movie version. If you like classic mysteries, I think you'll like this one.
