Raspberry Jam by Carolyn Wells is a delightful mystery novel that kept me guessing until the very end. The story follows amateur detective Pennington Wise and his sidekick Zizi as they investigate a series of mysterious occurrences surrounding a wealthy family. The characters are charming and well-developed, and the plot is full of twists and turns that will keep readers engaged.

One of the things I enjoyed most about this book was the clever wit and humor that Wells infused into her writing. The dialogue is sharp and entertaining, and the interactions between the characters are always engaging. Additionally, the setting of the story, a fancy mansion in the countryside, adds an extra layer of intrigue to the mystery.

Overall, Raspberry Jam is a charming and entertaining read that is perfect for fans of classic mystery novels. Wells has a knack for storytelling that will keep readers hooked from beginning to end. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun and engaging mystery novel.
