🔎 The Plot

World War II on the Maine coast: the family’s shuttered summer house is opened for the season—and in the Yellow Room, a stranger’s body is found hidden away. With trains packed with soldiers, lights doused for blackouts, and nerves frayed by rumor, suspicion ricochets through the household and the tight-lipped village beyond.

Who had the key? Why was the room sealed? And why do the small, “domestic” details—laundered linens, a moved chair, a window unlatched—tell a story no one wants to hear? As authorities circle and old scandals surface, a determined young woman must untangle motives of love, fear, and wartime desperation before the killer strikes again.

🧨 The Hook

A country-house mystery sharpened by home-front tension: ration books, blackout curtains, and a locked room where every ordinary object becomes a clue.

3 Reasons To Add This To Your TBR
  • Wartime Atmosphere: Blackouts, secrecy, and small-town pressure add fresh bite to the classic country-house puzzle.
  • Domestic Clues, Deadly Stakes: Keys, sheets, schedules, and servants’ paths—Rinehart turns everyday details into a trapdoor reveal.
  • Romantic Suspense, Fair Play: Slow-burn chemistry meets clean clueing and a solution that clicks into place with vintage satisfaction.

For readers who love elegant peril, hush-hush secrets, and deduction hiding in plain sight, The Yellow Room is a moody, meticulous delight.
