Man Who Fell Through the Earth. By Carolyn Wells FULL Audiobook
Here's a detailed summary of "The Man Who Fell Through the Earth" by Carolyn Wells:
In this intriguing mystery, we follow the adventures of Tom Brice, a young lawyer who unexpectedly finds himself embroiled in a perplexing case. As he prepares to leave his office on the top floor of a Madison Avenue building, he hears an argument followed by a gunshot from the office across the hall. Curious and concerned, he rushes to investigate, only to discover that there is no sign of either victim or assailant. No one could have passed him without being seen, yet the evidence of a crime is undeniable.
The victim, it turns out, is the banker who owned the building. But who could have committed the murder? Was it a business associate, the banker’s beautiful ward, or perhaps the mysterious woman who had been in the office earlier? The enigma deepens when an amnesia-stricken man is pulled from the river. His earliest memory is of falling through a hole in the earth-a detail that adds another layer of intrigue to the case.
Enter detective Pennington Wise, a brilliant investigator with a penchant for solving the most baffling mysteries. Assisted by his elfin associate, Zizi, whose playful manner belies her shrewd intellect, Wise delves into the complex web of clues. Nora, Brice’s smart secretary, also plays a crucial role in unraveling the truth.
As the investigation unfolds, secrets emerge, motives are questioned, and unexpected twists keep readers on the edge of their seats. The real attraction of the story lies in the character of Zizi, who infuses the narrative with vaudevillian charm. Her stagy accents, exaggerated emotions, and lively presence add a delightful dimension to the tale.
While the central mystery-the disappearance of the banker and the identity of the murderer-drives the plot, it is the characters and their interactions that truly captivate. Carolyn Wells, a prolific writer known for her humor, weaves a fast-paced narrative that defies convention. Unlike many detective stories of the early 20th century, Wells gives the female characters active roles, making this novel a refreshing read.
The Man Who Fell Through the Earth invites readers to explore the depths of human psychology, memory, and deception. With its unexpected twists and engaging characters, it remains a classic worth savoring.
