She grew up to major in modern languages and then work in publishing and later as a copywriter. She published her debut novel, \u003ci\u003eWhose Body?\u003c\/i\u003e in 1923, and it became the first of her fourteen-part mystery series. After first creating a play based on her mystery series, she began writing more plays, including \u003ci\u003eThe Man to Be Born King\u003c\/i\u003e, which faced much opposition for having the character of Christ speak in modern English.
