"Feathers Left Around" by Carolyn Wells is a collection of detective stories written in the early 20th century. The stories follow Fleming Stone, a clever American detective known for his ingenuity and skill in unraveling mysteries, as he encounters various baffling cases. This work promises to engage readers with intriguing plots that challenge the intellect, inviting them into a world of suspense and deduction. The opening of the book introduces readers to the character of Valentine Loft and his guests enjoying a weekend at his Westchester estate, where a lively discussion about methods of murder ensues. The light-hearted conversation takes a dark turn when Loft's guest, the author Hugh Curran, is found dead in his locked room under mysterious circumstances. As Loft grapples with the shocking discovery, the tension among the assembled guests rises, leading to a mix of curiosity and dread. This intriguing start hints at a complex interplay of motives and suspects, setting the stage for a compelling murder mystery. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
