Carolyn Wells, née le à Rahway, New Jersey et décédée le à New York, est une auteure américaine de roman policier. Elle a également signé un roman sous le pseudonyme Rowland Wright.

Biographie

Atteinte de surdité, elle est contrainte de recevoir un enseignement spécialisé. Après ses études, elle devient brièvement bibliothécaire, puis se lance dans l'écriture de poèmes, de courtes pièces, des anthologies ou des contes destinés aux enfants. Elle épouse peu après Hadwin Houghton, l'héritier d’un empire du monde de l’édition. Après la mort de son mari, en 1919, elle s'installe à New York et continue sa prolifique carrière d'écrivain dont les productions se sont entre-temps diversifiées.

Outre de nombreux textes de littérature d'enfance et de jeunesse, dont les séries Patty, Dorrance et Marjorie, elle donne également de nombreux romans policiers, notamment la série de Fleming Stone, surnommé The Great Man, héros apparu d'abord dans une simple nouvelle en 1906, puis dans The Clue (1909), le tout premier roman policier de l'auteur. Fleming Stone revient ensuite dans soixante titres. Carolyn Wells a également donné vie à d'autres enquêteurs, dont l'acteur du cinéma muet Kenneth Carlisle qui devient détective à l'heure du parlant, le détective privé et fin connaisseur en œuvres d'art Alan Ford, le privé et parapsychologue Pennington "Penny" Wise. En 1913, elle signe The Technique of the Mystery Story, un essai sur le roman policier.
