The Peculiar Case Of Lord Finsbury's Diamonds (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
This novella had it all. A little mystery, a little romance and some time spent catching up with some well loved characters. While it was short, it was not rushed. The story flowed nicely and the mystery kept me interested. It was typical SL, a bit too wordy but still a great story. And the last line in this book is priceless!I look forward to reading more of Barnaby's Case Files. At long last, we recommence our buddy reads! I've missed having my reading buddies to discuss these books with. Should be fun :)Finished! This was a very quick read, but it was enjoyable. The mystery had me guessing, I didn't even suspect the culprit until right toward the end. Penelope's way of dealing with the late stages of her pregnancy had me laughing in a couple of places as well. I of course liked seeing Stokes and Griselda again as well. The little mini-romance between Gwen Finsbury and Frederick Culver was cute, and sweet. Almost too cute and sweet, lol. I liked it though, and how everything worked out for everyone in the end. I also enjoyed the end, when little Oliver is born, and Barnaby's parents came on the scene. I like the relationship between Barnaby and his father, the respect and understanding between them, and how he knew to come and distract Barnaby from his worries over the birth. A nice little addition to the series, but I'm interested in seeing what Montague's story will hold.
