Synopsis

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...

    Something sinister is happening at a care home in a British seaside town—and Aubrey the cat is perfect at sniffing out trouble . . . 
     
     
     
    Aubrey had initially dreaded the move to the coast with the Goodmans, but now he loves it. All those rock pools to muck about in, caves to explore, and endless food opportunities from the beach huts means life is good. And he's especially pleased that his best friend, Vincent, has joined the household. 
     
     
     
    But the sun slips behind a cloud when a body is found near Lilac Tree Lodge, the home for the elderly in which Molly Goodman works. Not to mention that items have been going missing from the residents' rooms. Suddenly it doesn't all seem quite so jolly. But Aubrey and Vincent have been spending some time on the premises as part of a visiting-pet program, and they've seen enough to know that a game of cat and mouse is afoot . . .
