Sinossi

In "The Breaking Point," Mary Roberts Rinehart skillfully weaves a tale that deftly combines elements of suspense, psychological drama, and mystery. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century societal expectations, Rinehart's narrative explores the fragility of the human psyche under extreme circumstances. Through her masterful use of intricate plot twists and vivid characterizations, Rinehart invites readers into a psychological labyrinth that questions not only the nature of sanity but also the darker aspects of human relationships, all wrapped in a cloak of intrigue reminiscent of the best of her contemporaries in crime fiction. Mary Roberts Rinehart, often referred to as the 'American Agatha Christie,' was a pioneer in the mystery genre, her works reflecting both the turbulence of her times and her deep understanding of human emotion. Having garnered significant attention for her innovative storytelling techniques and prolific output, Rinehart'Äôs own experiences and the societal pressures of her era informed her approach to crafting narratives that resonate with psychological depth and social commentary, particularly in "The Breaking Point." I highly recommend "The Breaking Point" for those who appreciate literary mysteries that offer not only suspense but also profound insights into the complexities of the human experience. Rinehart's compelling storytelling and nuanced character development make this work an essential addition to the library of any mystery enthusiast or student of early American literature.

    Amazing Grant has kept her distance from her mobster family, while entombing her own less-than-savory past. Until now. 
    With her fugitive grandfather on the lam, the clan's attention focuses on Amazing (Maze) and the ancient journal her great-grandfather secretly passed down to her. Maze's relatives are convinced she's hiding the precious book, and now that they're no longer under the watchful eye of their patriarch, they summon her to Paris for an interrogation. 
    Facing threats to her fiancé, and an Interpol general using her criminal past to blackmail her, Maze devises a take-down of her entire family. The only thing worse than dragging the people she loves into her battle is discovering the sinister reason the Grant family wants the heirloom journal to remain buried. 
    From San Francisco to Paris, twists and turns take Maze through grave danger with vengeful criminals. Once the final showdown takes place in Scotland, murder is on everyone's mind.

    On an isolated isle off the western coast of Scotland, spirited American Jane Wunderly must investigate a secret society where esoteric rituals blur the line between what’s real, what’s illusion, and what’s deadly … 
     
    Isle of Iona, 1927: Cast away on a remote locale, Jane’s latest assignment depends on concealing her identity and blending in at an occult gathering. Not even her fiancé, Redvers, can be too close as she uncovers the truth about Robert Nightingale, enigmatic leader of the Order of the  
    Golden Dawn—a group made up of supernatural ceremonies, influential people, and an undefinable darkness.  
     
    When a woman tries to escape to the mainland only to be found murdered in the moors, the shocking scene reveals it’s easier to join the Golden Dawn than it is to leave. 
     
    Jane, set on solving the crime and catching the next ferry with Redvers, realizes she may be among the few still grasping reality. One high-ranking member searches for the killer by attempting to access otherworldly planes of existence, while others become immersed in a strange solstice ritual.  
    Then there’s Nightingale and the rivals who discarded him to start a new temple. As a second death brings fresh clues into focus, Jane needs to navigate a frightening dilemma—playing along won’t help her crack the mystery, but revealing too much could be a fatal mistake …
