Samenvatting:
"All at Sea" is a compelling mystery novel by the prolific Carolyn Wells, featuring her renowned series detective, Fleming Stone. The narrative centers on a baffling murder that occurs at a crowded seaside resort. While bathing in the ocean among a throng of holidaymakers, Garrett Folsom, a man of high social standing, suddenly collapses. Though initial reports suggest an accidental drowning, a closer examination reveals he was stabbed through the heart-a crime committed in the middle of a crowd, yet seen by no one.When the local police find themselves baffled by the logistics of the killing, the brilliant Fleming Stone is brought in to navigate the murky waters of the case. He must sift through a collection of suspicious characters, each with a plausible motive for wanting Folsom dead. Wells expertly weaves a tale of suspense and deduction, transforming a sunny vacation destination into a complex crime scene. "All at Sea" stands as a quintessential example of the Golden Age of detective fiction, offering readers a sophisticated puzzle and a fascinating look at early 20th-century mystery writing.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
