Omschrijving

A brisk, gleaming invitation to a vanished London, where a diamond theft exposes more than wealth and its concealers. The Castlecourt Diamond Mystery offers a spellbinding, epistolary mystery told through the voices of the participants themselves, a rare mosaic that reads like a living court of late Victorian England. This collection-style tale blends a careful mystery anthology sensibility with the immersive depth of a historical novel. The narrative voice shifts across correspondences, statements and admissions, building a tapestry of suspicion, motive, and social intrigue. It is a carefully crafted diamond of a plot: a wealth and deception inquiry set against a vividly drawn Victorian London, with echoes of Arthur Conan Doyle in crisp deduction and humane curiosity. For today's readers and tomorrow's, the book offers both suspense and social texture, appealing to historical mystery readers and mystery anthology buyers alike, and rewarding book club discussions with its brisk pacing and rich implications. Note the significance: a landmark artefact from its era, now restored for contemporary audiences and historical scholars to admire. This is more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions; restored for today's and future generations. A complete collection illustrated companion to a enduring puzzle in late Victorian England, ideal for casual readers and classic-literature collectors who crave a vivid, public confession at the heart of the mystery.
