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.

Fabulous!

Like the Lady Hardcastle books, for which the mystery is just a set up for colorful characters and witty banter, this book follows suit. The draw is not so much the mystery, but the characters and their interactions, as well as the setting. If you’re looking for hard-boiled crime drama, this isn’t it. But if you want a light, entertaining mystery, this is perfect!
Overall, I still prefer the characters and setting of the LH books, but this one was still quite fun. I’ll definitely get the next one!
A fun character-driven mystery

While I was startled by a different reader (Mattacks) of this story than had been in Kinsey’s books in the past, after a while, it dawned on me that a majority of the characters were male and it made it a more comfortable read. Flo (Knowelden) still has her voice as she responds in letter readings.
Good content. At first a few too many characters to follow but that settles out as we learn about who they are.
If you can get past the expectation of a female voice, this story will reward you with laughter and the developed character gifts common to Kinsey’s previous books. Enjoy.
Loved how
