Books like The Street of Seven Stars by Mary Roberts Rinehart
Mary Roberts Rinehart’s *The Street of Seven Stars* unfolds within an old stucco house that once belonged to a royal game preserve in an Austrian city. The narrative describes a rainy November evening, with a heavy barred gate, a lacquered chandelier, and a single candlelit salon. A piano student named Scatchett, affectionately called "Scatch," navigates the garden and the house’s historic interior, which some say was once a hunting lodge for Empress Maria Theresa. The setting evokes the quiet, somber atmosphere of the dining salon, the rustle of trees, and the solitary glow of a candle that once helped locate a Tschaikowsky concerto.
