'''Mary Roberts Rinehart (August 12, 1876-September 22, 1958)''' was a prolific American writer who dealt mostly in the mystery genre. She is considered to have created the ''Had I but know...'' school of mystery writing and also coined the term - "The Butler did it." She also wrote comedies, nurse fiction and what is also considered "mainstream" fiction (which were often reprinted as romance novels - even though romance may not have a key feature in them). Rinehart does not appear to have had a happy married life and in her romance/mainstream fiction novels the husbands are always portrayed in a negative light but she was a very loving mother and motherhood is always shown as one of the crowning achievements that a woman can accomplish.
