Excerpt from The Breaking PointThe choir room in the parish house resounded to the twenty voices of the choir. The choir master at the piano kept time with his head. Earnest and intent, they filled the building with the Festival Te Deum of Dudley Buck, Opus 63, no. 1.Elizabeth Wheeler liked choir practice. She liked the way in which, after the different parts had been run through, the voices finally blended into harmony and beauty. She liked the small sense of achievement it gave her, and of being a part, on Sun days, of the service. She liked the feeling, when she put on the black cassock and white surplice and the small round velvet cap, of having placed in her locker the things of this world, such as a rose-colored hat and a blue georgette frock.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Elizabeth Wheeler proved herself to be a strong and decisive spirit who did not waver in her decision to put Dick Livingston out of her heart. Locking away her passionate feelings was as painful as burning her own notes and disposing of his photographs; yet she swiftly took care of the whole business, without hesitation. Can the two truly be connected with missing millionaire Jud Clark? Mary Roberts Reinhart builds an enchanting mystery adventure around Elizabeth's love story. She leads readers to feel completely immersed in a world of emotional pain and indecision, where characters come to life, while leading us down a twisty path where nothing is truly what it seems, and a bold reporter who knows just how to ask the right questions soon becomes the center of attention in a pursuit to find the truth. While Reinhart may have been overshadowed by some of her notable contemporaries – such as the great Dame Agatha Christie – her mystery novels remain among the most exciting tales of psychological suspense that even modern readers would enjoy. Faithfully depicting the complex social world of the early 1920s, The Breaking Point is one of Reinhart's most famous works, leading us directly to the essence of human nature through its deeply meaningful plot twists and insightful, as well as life-like character depictions. The book will take you back in time to the beginning of the 20th century, exploring situations and concepts revolving around love, psychological contrast and deep emotional breakthroughs that go deeper than what many of the most notable authors of the time were capable of producing.
