Sobre aquest llibre
Raspberry Jam is a classic locked-room whodunit featuring Detective Fleming Stone and is widely considered to be one of the best of the Fleming Stone Mysteries. Millionaire Sanford Embury is found dead in bed, alone, with the door of his second-story bedroom bolted shut from the inside. He was known to be a controlling husband, refusing to give his pretty young wife an allowance of cash or her own checking account. Was his wife a party to the murder, or perhaps did she commit the murder in a fit of rage? Who else had a motive? And how does a clue of raspberry jam point to the killer? (goodreads)
Sobre l'autor
Carolyn Wells (1862-1942) was an American author and poet whose prolific career spanned several genres, including mystery, children's literature, and humor. Born in Rahway, New Jersey, Wells initially worked as a librarian before dedicating herself to writing full-time. Her early works were marked by a playful wit and a penchant for the absurd, which quickly garnered her a dedicated readership.Wells is perhaps best known for her contributions to the mystery genre, particularly her Fleming Stone detective series, which captivated readers with its intricate plots and clever resolutions. Her ability to blend humor with suspense set her apart from her contemporaries and influenced later writers like Agatha Christie and Ellery Queen.A fascinating aspect of Wells' career was her involvement in the literary circles of her time. She was a member of the prestigious Authors Club and maintained friendships with notable figures such as Mark Twain and P.G. Wodehouse. Her work often reflected the cultural shifts of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the rise of the New Woman and the changing landscape of American humor.Despite her success, Wells was not without controversy. Her penchant for borrowing elements from other authors led to accusations of plagiarism, a charge she vehemently denied. Nonetheless, her ability to adapt and innovate within various literary forms ensured her lasting impact on American literature.Wells' legacy is a testament to her versatility and enduring appeal. Her works continue to be celebrated for their wit, creativity, and insight into the human condition, making her a significant figure in the annals of literary history.
