    About this ebook

    The tenth in the Fleming Stone series of mystery novels, 'The Diamond Pin' is a classic whodunnit. Fabulously wealthy Ursula Pell is fond of playing tricks on her family and friends – much to her delight and their distaste. They dare not protest, for fear of being left out of her sizeable will. One day however, her niece Iris reaches breaking point. When Ursula is found murdered in a locked room, is Iris to blame? Or is there more to the crime than meets the eye? Detective Fleming Stone is on hand to help get to the bottom of it. A thrilling crime mystery from popular American author Carolyn Wells. -

    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.
