Beschreibung

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: Women writers in the origins of the mystery and detective genre


Originally published in 1920, “Raspberry Jam” is a novel by American author Carolyn Wells. The novel is a classic cozy locked-room mystery featuring Detective Fleming Stone and is widely considered to be one of the best of the Fleming Stone Mysteries.

Millionaire Sanford Embury, a successful titan of industry, is known to be a controlling husband, refusing to give his pretty young wife an allowance of cash or her own checking account. When he is found dead in his locked bedroom without evidence of natural death, the doctors and the police try to figure out who the murder is from among the suspects. And it isn't an easy job, for each suspect either have a motive but no opportunity or have an opportunity but no motive. And to make matters worse, one of the victim's relative claims to have seen the dead man's ghost, whose appearance corresponded with a remarkable taste and smell of raspberry jam...

    A fire had broken out in a building belonging to the Free Church congregation in Viserum. The actual sanctuary was spared, but an adjacent community hall was completely destroyed. This was the seventh fire at a religious site in Småland in recent times. 
    It had started with the Swedish Alliance Mission church in Värnamo on August 7th, and like the others that followed, it was confirmed to be arson. Murder by fire, the headlines screamed in bold type—which was also the accurate legal classification of the crime. The fires were now being investigated by Superintendent Peter Krantz and Inspector Pierre Valfridsson, both of whom had been sent from the Växjö police and were in charge of the overall case. 
    Krantz stood staring at a charred plank he held in his hand, cursing quietly to himself over having to investigate something he already believed he knew the answer to. 
    — That fucking idiot. We should’ve killed him back then, he said, looking meaningfully at his colleague, who gave a small nod. 
    — I know, I know, Valfridsson muttered sourly. But come on, we’ve got nothing, not a damn thing, and you know that... 
    He didn’t get further before Krantz snapped: 
    — Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know! Fuck, we should have killed the bastard. Goddamn it, he finished, moving away from the burned-out building. Krantz kicked at a few boards and threw the one he was holding over his head—nearly hitting one of the techs who was crouched down, digging through a trash bin by the side of the house. He strode out onto the cordoned-off street, shaking his head angrily while muttering about all the things he should have done.
