About this listen
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.

Another great story
It took me two goes to listen to this book, but it was well worth a second go. To hear a different narrator associated with the Lady Hardcastle mysteries took me a little while to warm up to, but in the end I relented and had to admit that I really enjoyed the story, and the narrator and yes, I've downloaded the second book. I really do highly recommend this series.

Disappointingly mundane
Unlike the fun and wit of the Lady Hardcastle mysteries, this is deeply disappointing. Dull and mundane, not up to the previous standard!

Lightweight story and characters
It’s a feel good lightweight that rambles into many pointless avenues visiting personalities from other series the way Hollywood touts out famous faces to lift a dull plot. Sometimes this gets in the way of the story. I found myself often forgetting the murder plot altogether. Got lost easily. But hey, I listen while doing boring things so it certainly helps the day move along. So enjoy the lack of brutality and sorrowful stories about damaged humans.
In short I might buy another one to focus my activity and listen in on harmless people getting along. so maybe it’s okay.
