Death in the Fog
“From the first page to the last, this story is pervaded by the atmosphere of horror and suspense that invariably marks the work of Mignon G. Eberhart. A murder, to her, is something more than a mere crime puzzle to be worked out for the entertainment of the reader. It is a tragic event which deeply affects the destinies of those who are in any way involved.”
—New York Times

The House on the Roof
“Though female sleuths are the rage today, Eberhart broke new ground with the introduction of Nurse Sarah Keate. . . . Eberhart’s timing and gothic atmosphere [in While the Patient Slept] are second to none.”
“The story is convincingly told, the characters are lifelike, and the police procedure is a pleasant relief from the usual methods attributed to the Chicago force.”
