Customer Reviews of The Bat

A mystery/suspense classic.
The Bat is probably the most popular of all of the novels of America's great female mystery writer, Mary Roberts Rinehart, and it is quite simply one of the finest mystery/suspense novels ever written. The plot is outstanding, the atmosphere is unremittingly tense and apprehensive, and the conclusion is totally surprising without being contrived. If you like good mysteries you will probably love The Bat.

Is Laura Schlessinger "The Bat"?
What, exactly, is the connection of this book with "Laura Schlessinger"? The link indicates that this "Laura Schlessinger" is the radio moralist-charlatan. Is that her portrait on the dust cover? Dr. Liara is an old bat, all right, but I doubt she is "The Bat."

Great imagery, characters, plot - high moments of wonder
I always enjoy reading her books due to the imagery and variety of different character types and personalities she incorporates into her story lines. The Bat was my favorite...it had the "old" mystery feel. The characters were very well described and therefore, easy to imagine. I began feeling what the characters felt and encountered in that dark, old estate. It is hard for me to get through a book without getting bored and starting on another. However, The Bat traveled with me to work, the gym and house each day, just so I could finish it. I couldn't seem to put it down. Great piece of literature...one I would highly recommend for those who love a good mystery!
