Publisher Summary
 

Miss Cornelia Van Gorder has left her New York City home for a vacation in an isolated country mansion with her beautiful young niece, neurotic maid, pompous butler and a mysterious but genteel young man, only to find herself the victim of a elusive master criminal, the Bat.

The spirited and headstrong spinster is not easily fazed until one stormy night when she stumbles on a corpse. She musters all her nerves to play the vicious killer's deadly game and confront the Bat once and for all. The Bat, which draws from The Circular Staircase but adds some new plot complexities - namely the villainous Bat - shows Rinehart at the height of her career and is considered her greatest work.

Reader Reviews for: The Bat
2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5  2 out of 5
Review by Kathy from Philadelphia, PA | 4/26/2011

This book hasn't aged well, e.g. bosoms heave, ethnicity is disparaged and one character is cowed by the innate social superiority of another character. But the plot is ok, even if a bit of it is borrowed from other of the author's works.

Loved this book. They made a movie out of it with Agnes Moorhead and Vincent Price. It was good but a different timeline.
