"An absorbing tale of murder and mystery--Mrs. Rinehart has written no
more exciting story than this."--_New Orleans Picayune._
"Succeeds to a remarkable degree in thrilling the reader ... she stands
in direct line, and not unworthily, after Stevenson and that born teller
of tales, F. Marion Crawford."--_Philadelphia Press._
"Mrs. Rinehart has disclosed herself as an adept and ingenious inventor
of thrilling murder puzzles, and in none of them has she told a story
more directly and more fluently than in 'The After House.'"--_Boston
Transcript._
"Mrs. Rinehart has, with no small constructive skill, created a real
mystery and left it unsolved until the very last.... Her incidents
follow one another in rapid succession and the interest of the story is
maintained to the very end. A good novel for quick reading."--_New York
Herald._
