Inspirer of Agatha Christie, Conan Doyle, Mary Roberts Rinehart and other luminaries, this American author was the first female writer of detective fiction and a mystery novelist. She laid the foundation of historical detective and private investigation novel. The Circular Study narrates of an unfading master of deduction Mr. Gryce, who puzzles out a murderous mystery, lays bare a murderer, and all this is in a brilliant old school style of writing.
