The Curved Blades Audiobook
Sale Starts:
In The Curved Blades, Carolyn Wells launches the reader into a chilling murder mystery where high society masks darker secrets. The story wastes no time as it introduces a suspicious death at a lavish estate, immediately casting a shadow over its elite guests. Wells moves swiftly to set up intrigue, delivering sharp dialogue, subtle clues, and a roster of complex characters with hidden motives.
Description
Wells constructs the mystery around the sudden, unnatural death of a well-known figure, discovered with a pair of ornate curved blades nearby. The narrative focuses on detective Fleming Stone, her recurring sleuth, who uses intuition and deductive skill rather than brute force. Stone investigates with relentless energy, questioning suspects, piecing together inconsistencies, and noticing details others miss. Wells keeps the tension high, using crisp scenes and misdirection to deepen the suspense. Every chapter pulls the reader further into a web of deceit, motives, and buried grievances.
In addition to its detective structure, the novel explores the superficial charm and hidden fractures of the upper class. Wells critiques the idea that wealth and refinement protect people from criminal behavior. Characters reveal their vulnerabilities under pressure, and Stone’s interviews expose carefully guarded secrets. The plot maintains a brisk pace and a clear focus, ultimately delivering a logical, if unexpected, resolution that satisfies genre expectations without resorting to melodrama.
