About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5So disappointing. I'm used to fiction from this period and don't mind some overwrought writing, but this is over the top. It read like the author had a great beginning in mind and then thrashed through writing what might happen after that with no real spark. Lots of "Who WAS this mystery girl?" and "You'd better tell all you know!", not much actual detecting or action. Also, Wells seemed to believe that either women were so beautiful that all men immediately fall in love, or catty and spiteful.
