The Deadly Mystery of the Missing Diamonds
The Deadly Mystery of the Missing Diamonds | T. E. Kinsey
4 posts | 4 read | 5 to read
Missing diamonds. Mysterious deaths. And all that jazz. London, 1925. With their band the Dizzy Heights, jazz musicians Ivor 'Skins' Maloney and Bartholomew 'Barty' Dunn are used to improvising as they play the Charleston for flappers and toffs, but things are about to take a surprising turn. Superintendent Sunderland has had word that a deserter who stole a fortune in diamonds as he fled the war is a member of the Aristippus private members' club in Mayfair--where the Dizzy Heights have a residency. And the thief is planning to steal a hoard of jewels hidden there under the cover of a dance contest. As mutual pal Lady Hardcastle has suggested, Skins and Dunn are perfectly placed to be Sunderland's eyes and ears--and Skins's wife Ellie soon lends a hand with a bit of light snooping. But the stakes change dramatically when a mysterious death at the club brings a sinister note to the investigation. With the dance contest fast approaching, the trio must solve the mystery of the missing diamonds, unmask the murderer, and prevent more deadly crimes--all without missing a beat.

Great cover, but otherwise kind of disappointing. First book in series that's a spin-off of the Lady Hardcastle series, which I enjoy. Fun setting and characters, but the story really dragged. Not a lot of action or investigating or clues, which are all kind of important in a mystery!

I greatly enjoyed this and I cannot wait to read more from this series! I was ambivalent towards the Lady H series, so I wasn‘t sure how I‘d feel about this, but it was just so lovely and such an easy read. The mystery was fun, the characters engaging, and the settings sounded delightful. I do think a few things could be a better fleshed out, but I‘m hoping that will come with the other books.

This is my Amazon first pick for this month, and it's actually a book that I already wanted to read, instead of one I've never heard of. I really like this author's Lady Hardcastle series and I'm looking forward to this new mystery series.

Kristin_Reads Ooh! Can‘t wait for your review of this one! 3y
