- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I just finished [The Window at the White Cat]. It's a nice old mystery. I think I prefer standalones to series. In a series there's so little that can really happen to the main character. This had some romance and humor. I like the character winking with both eyes because she couldn't manage the one eyed wink. It seems in modern books nice characters are never allowed to be in the inept at anything.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The Window at the White Cat is the fourth book that I have read by Rinehart, and I must say that I found it just as enjoyable as the others. Rinehart delivers a great story full of twists and turns as a lawyer finds himself employed to find a young woman's missing father only to find himself at the center of several confounding mysteries. The book is a quick, fun read as Rinehart gives the reader a number of suspects, a confusing murder, a mysterious robbery, and a missing woman. The many colorful characters add to the story, and I found myself eagerly turning the pages to see what would happen next. Overall this was a fun read if you like a more traditional who done it.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The plot and characters are fine but of course t hey are dated. You have to be able accept that to really enjoy the story. The biggest weakness is the narrator. Her bland, mediocre narration is quite soporific.
