About this ebook

Wealthy New York widow Ursula Pell enjoys hosting parties and playing cruel jokes on her guests. If anyone complains about the humiliating mistreatment, she threatens to cut them out of her will. When Ursula’s dead body is discovered in a locked-room the morning after a dinner party, suspicion initially points to the murder victim’s niece Iris, the most recent recipient of one of Ursula’s humiliating pranks. But there are many others competing for Ursula Pell’s fortune in gems, which the eccentric widow hid somewhere and which includes a highly prized diamond pin.Who killed Ursula and how? And where is the stash of gemstones?

When amateur sleuths fail to unearth any clues, they call in Detective Fleming Stone to fill in the missing pieces of the puzzle. Curl up with this classic locked-room whodunit from Carolyn Wells, author of The Clue.

Author

Carolyn Wells

Carolyn Wells (1862-1942) was an American poet, librarian, and mystery writer. Born in Rahway, New Jersey, Wells began her career as a children’s author with such works as At the Sign of the Sphinx (1896), The Jingle Book (1899), and The Story of Betty (1899). After reading a mystery novel by Anna Katharine Green, Wells began focusing her efforts on the genre and found success with her popular Detective Fleming Stone stories. The Clue (1909), her most critically acclaimed work, cemented her reputation as a leading mystery writer of the early twentieth century. In 1918, Wells married Hadwin Houghton, the heir of the Houghton-Mifflin publishing fortune, and remained throughout her life an avid collector of rare and important poetry volumes.
