The Castlecourt Diamond Mystery by Geraldine Bonner audiobook.

Genre: mystery

When the legendary Castlecourt diamonds vanish during London season, scandal threatens to swallow an aristocratic household whole. Staying at Burridge's Hotel instead of their own townhouse, Lady Castlecourt and her husband find themselves surrounded by servants, guests, and hangers-on, any of whom might have seen something, or might be hiding it. The mystery is told as a sequence of statements from the people closest to the case, beginning with Sophy Jeffers, the Marchioness' maid, who recounts the tense routines of service and the moment the jewels are discovered missing. One account leads to another, including the fascinating testimony of Lilly Bingham, better known by a trail of names on both sides of the Atlantic and to the police as Laura the Lady. With an official detective and a private investigator circling the same glittering prize, suspicion shifts from staff to society, from chance opportunity to deliberate design. As each voice adds new details, the reader must weigh gossip against evidence, kindness against calculation, and appearances against motive in a clever, manners-soaked puzzle of theft, identity, and social theater.
