Thank you Bookouture Audio and NetGalley for the audiobook.

First book of a series following Cressida Fawcett's adventures as detective. Cozy mystery perfect for fans of Agatha Christie.

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Daphne Kouma, who does an amazing job with the characters. The narration is very engaging and easy to follow. Perfect entry to the audiobooks experience. I would totally recommend this format.

Death among the diamonds was a little gem of a book (or audiobook in my case. Brilliantly narrated and so easy to listen to. It was super entertaining and the book was brought to life, springing you into the lives of the 1920’s). I love a historical fiction, and a whodunnit paired with a strong female lead made it for an instant success.

The honourable lady Fawcett finds herself thrown into a tales of diamond robberies, murders and mysteries. Despite being told to stop interfering by the constabulary, she continues to be on the case, with her trusty dog Ruby by her side.

Being the first in the series, it was a great introduction into the characters and the series going forward. I can’t wait to read more and will definitely continue on to rejoin Cressida on her adventures and find myself totally hooked after finishing this one. I’m definitely left wanting more.

If you love a good murder mystery and historical fiction (1920’s is such a good era to set a book in), then this is the book for you!

I really enjoyed this book, which is a cozy mystery novel set in 1920's London. The narrator of the book was fabulous, and her accent and portrayal of the story was perfect! I really loved her posh voice.

The main character of the story is Cressida, who was just lovely, and I really liked her a lot. Along with her little dog Ruby, I was really invested in them both and how they connected together while solving the case of the diamonds and the murders.

This is a fantastic book, which I highly recommend, and I look forward to reading more novels from this author, which I will now be on the look out for.

Many thanks to the author, narrator, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book.

Such a fun cozy murder/mystery. The main character reminded me of Mary from Downton Abbey. It follows the familiar pattern of most amateur detectives which i just love. It was entertaining with a few funny moments which makes these kind of books so popular. Brilliant start to the series and I'm already looking forward to book 2.
