THE DEEP-LAKE MYSTERY

"e;The Deep Lake Mystery"e; is a locked-room mystery set in a lake-house in rural North America.

Mr. Norris is invited to join his old friend, the detective Keeley Moore at Deep Lake, for a vacation.

Their holiday is ruined when one of Moore's neighbors is killed in his own bed under strange circumstances.

The only door in or out is locked, all the windows open into a lake too dangerous to dive into, and the dead man is surrounded by an odd assortment of items carefully staged around him. Carolyn Wells (1862-1942) was an American writer and poet.

Among the most famous of her mystery novels were the Fleming Stone Detective Stories, and Pennington Wise series.

She also wrote several Sherlock Holmes stories.
