Mary Roberts Rinehart (August 12, 1876 – September 22, 1958) was an American writer, often called the American Agatha Christie. She was born in Allegheny City which is now the part of the city of Pittsburgh known as the Northside. Rinehart published her first mystery novel, The Circular Staircase, in 1908, which introduced the "had I but known" narrative style. Rinehart is also considered the earliest known source of the phrase "the butler did it", in her novel The Door (1930), although the exact phrase does not appear in her work and the plot device had been used prior to that time. She also created a costumed supercriminal called "the Bat", who was cited by Bob Kane as one of the inspirations for his "Batman." Along with her fictional endeavors, Reinhart worked to tell the stories and experiences of frontline soldiers during World War I, one of the first women to travel to the Belgian front lines.
