Book Quote by Mary Roberts Rinehart

“my crime books are actually novels and are written as such. One might even say that each one is really two novels, one of which is the story I tell the reader, and the other the buried story I know and let slip now and then into a clue to whet the reader's interest.” quote by Mary Roberts Rinehart — Download Open image
