CHAPTER I

I TAKE A COUNTRY HOUSE: This is the story of how a middle-aged spinster lost her mind, deserted her domestic gods in the city, took a furnished house for the summer out of town, and found herself involved in one of those mysterious crimes that keep our newspapers and detective agencies happy and prosperous.  For twenty years I had been perfectly comfortable; for twenty years I had had the window- boxes filled in the spring, the carpets lifted, the awnings put up and the furniture covered with brown linen; for as many summers I had said good-by to my friends, and, after watching their perspiring hegira, had settled down to a delicious quiet in town, where the mail comes three times a day, and the water supply does not depend on a tank on the roof.

Enter a fiesty spinster who decides the latter when a man is found murdered in her summer rental. The house has the reputation of being haunted, but she isn't convinced and sets about determining the REAL mystery behind the Circular Staircase. Reading is fine, no complaints. :−)
