158. Cliched...

Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876-1958) was a prolific author often called the American Agatha Christie. She 'has been and continues to be' the most important American woman mystery writer and is also considered to have invented the "Had-I-But-Known" school of mystery writing.

One of her novels - “The Door” - is the supposed origin of a popular cliché.

Which one?
