Описание:
Sapphira Barlow started life as one of Madame Sophie's girls, but at seventy, after many vicissitudes, she was a revivalist of shadowy reputation. At her Coon Hollow camp in the California mountains she had gathered her Satellites about her to await the end of the world, at 3:45 a.m., Pacific Standard Time, August 26. Into this weird and fanatical group comes Rocky Allan with that engaging redhead, Eleanor, his wife. They have been summoned to the camp by their lean, saturnine friend, Theophilus Pope, who rightly suspects that murder, and not the Judgment Day, is the menace threatening the camp.
The first to meet death is the potbellied and dour Rev. Saul Cheney, former side-show barker. Then, on the morning of August 26, Sapphira is found strangled, with a card reading "The Day of Judgment has come" in her lap. And Rocky, in the remote fastness of the California mountains, with no criminological accessories at hand, is confronted with one of the most baffling crimes human ingenuity could evolve.
Murder on the Day of Judgment was published in 1936.

Описание:
This fifth case in the career of Rocky Allan, homespun sheriff who has found great favor both with readers and reviewers, opened one rainswept night when Rocky encountered a drenched stranger who asked him the way to Brookdale's only hotel. The stranger, with a phony English accent, parted from Rocky with the cryptic sentence, "Has it occurred to you, Mr. Allan, that it's an excellent night for murder?"
About noon the following day the stranger's words were found to be prophetic when the man was discovered shot to death in his room at the hotel. The great surprise came when it was discovered that the stranger was in some way connected with the Graydons. As Rocky's deputy exclaimed, "The Graydons--there's got to be some mistake " "Yeah, I know, the royal fam'ly of Brookdale. Sanctified and sacred," Rocky drawled. "But just why it's got to be a mistake is somethin' you'll have to explain to me; carefully, and in words of one syllable."
He found the Graydon clan close-mouthed, deceptive, and obviously eager to cover up their relationship with the murdered man. Despite their reluctance to have anything to do with the truth, Rocky's investigation finally brought to light the maid who had been fired for "hearing ghosts", and the "few odds and ends" which gave the original impetus to a series of murders which would never have been consummated had it not been for a newspaper story. In the end, with the aid of a fake phone call and a fresh bruise, Rocky was able to reveal a completely unexpected murderer.
An Excellent Night for Murder was published in 1937.

Описание:
When Kitty Featherstone-Quinn tired of writing "At Kitty's Advice to the Lovelorn" she took the money she had saved and bought a resort hotel in Gold Gulch, a "ghost" mining town. Her arrival in the Gulch precipitated an outlay of ghostly manifestations and bell ringing. Convinced that there was a plot to run her out of the neighborhood, she appealed to Rocky Allan, the local sheriff. Rocky visited Kitty's El Dorado Inn in time to meet the strange group of bohemian characters there assembled and in time to witness a fire which left in its ashes only two sets of false teeth to account for the missing Quinn brothers. Rocky also discovered the evidence of the mysterious midnight shave, the "white stone," the lost china brooch, and the mystery of the tolling bells. Finally, in exasperation, he turned a bell to his own advantage and with the aid of some pink and yellow embroidered roses solved a baffling murder.
This is the most ingenious of all Mrs. Rath's stories, and it is peopled with thoroughly delightful and entertaining characters. The reader will not soon forget Mary Anne and her malapropisms, Dad Allan who put on his fancy boots to go gunning, Olivia James who had her face slapped, or the garrulous Kitty Featherstone-Quinn. This book is particularly recommended to the reader who likes his mystery story to possess some of the substantial qualities of a novel of character.
The Anger of the Bells was published in 1937.
