The Mystery of Hunting's End
The Sand Hills of Nebraska, where Mignon Eberhart lived as a newlywed, inspired the setting of this 1930 chiller. In the middle of the bleak landscape sits the lodge called Hunting's End--where a young socialite (a.k.a. Nurse Keate) is determined to discover who killed her father five years earlier. Eberhart died in 1996 at age 97, after a long career as an award-winning mystery writer.
