Though female sleuths are the rage today, Eberhart broke new ground with the introduction of Nurse Sarah Keate in
The Patient in Room 18 in 1929. A year later, as Agatha Christie's Miss Jane Marple made her debut,
Eberhart published While the Patient Slept, and she and Nurse Keate were catapulted to fame.
