Set in a mysterious old house, the story follows dowager Rachel Innes as she navigates a series of strange crimes during a summer vacation with her adult niece and nephew. This suspenseful narrative, originating from Rinehart's visit to a Gothic revival castle, features elements of murder, arson, and kidnapping. As the first bestseller in the "had I but known" genre, it uniquely blends foreshadowing and reflection, allowing Rachel to ponder her choices amidst the unfolding chaos. The tale continues to captivate readers with its thrilling plot over a century later.
