A review by quietjenn
The Bat by Mary Roberts Rinehart

3.0

This is pretty similar to Rinehart's "The Circular Staircase" in many, many ways. Still enjoyable, but not exactly a thrill. More interesting did I find the book from a sociological/cultural standpoint, since it was the basis for a lot of old performance and purportedly one of Bob Kane's inspirations in creating the character of Batman. And, in the initial descriptions of The Bat, you can totally see it.
