Product Description

It was the bete noir of a playwright, an ensemble; K. Le Moyne and Sidney, Palmer Howe, Christine, Tillie, the younger Wilson, Joe, even young Rosenfeld, all within speaking distance, almost touching distance, gathered within and about the little house on a side street which K. at first grimly and now tenderly called "home." . . . Sitting just inside the door on a straight chair was Sidney-such a Sidney as he never had seen before, her face colorless, her eyes wide and unseeing, her hands clenched in her lap . . . "They say I poisoned him." Her voice was dreary, inflectionless. K. is one of Mary Roberts Rineharts earlier novels that weaves a mystery around the characters on the Street; it could be any street; especially in Pittsburgh.

Customer Reviews

Better Than I Expected
I agree that this novel is a bit slow moving at first..but like any good book the suspense builds. Mary Roberts Rheinhert wrote a variety of novels and this is one of her best. The character of "K" is slowly built up. The romance blooms on a street with a variety of different people all with different wants and needs. Somehow K brings it all together.

Good book for a rainy afternoon, a short easy read.

K is OK
This is a drama about the relationships between the people in a neighborhood of a small town and in the hospital where some of them work. I found the first half of the book to be a bit drawn out and uninteresting, but it improves in the second half. The author gets in a wide variety of things- jealousy, revenge, unrequited love, murder, family ties, mystery. She does a good job of getting inside of people's heads. If you have spare time this book is OK to read, but if you pass it by you aren't missing all that much.
