Reading "Death by Diamonds" by Annette Blair. Quite captivating read I have to say although I would get the general feeling better perhaps if I would have started from the book 1 in the series. Apparently it's the third book. Why cannot they write that kind of information clearly on the cover or at least on the title page? Anyhoo, I quite like the book. The characters are pleasant, there's some weird tension (I gather it would not be so weird if I had read the firts two books). Mysterious mystery is present as well. I'm halfway through and at the moment I think I wish to read the other books in the series as well. Let's see about it in the end though...

Later... Don't read if you are about to read this book! Spoilers!
I'm really disappointed. The story was a bit jumpy and the end was nothing I expected. The solution of the mystery was neither logical not smooth. 4 murderers?!? Isn't that a bit overkill? And two of them didn't have a motive, at all?
In my opinion in a good criminal story the ending should be like "of course, how didn't I see it, it's so logical and obvious"... Well this was more like "Whaaaat???" And althoug the characters were pleasant, in the end I didn't feel that I would like to know what happens to them next. Just don't care enough.
