Book Overview

The fate of the allied forces lies in the hands of Joanna and the Watsons in the next Daughter of Sherlock Holmes mystery from USA Today bestselling author Leonard Goldberg.

During a critical stage in World War One, the Governor-General of South Africa journeys to London for a meeting of The Imperial War Conference. Days prior to the conference, the Governor-General is scheduled to have an audience at Buckingham Palace at which time a most precious blue diamond will be presented to King Edward as a symbolic gesture of the colonies' resolute and never-ending allegiance to England.

The flawless blue diamond, with its magnificent luster, weighs nearly 3000 carats which renders it one of the world's largest and most valuable gems. On the Governor-General's arrival, he is ensconced at the fashionable Windsor Hotel under the tightest security, with his entire entourage and formidable security team occupying the entire penthouse floor. All entrances and exits are locked down and closely guarded, and no one is allowed entrance after 6 PM.

Despite the extreme precautions, the famous diamond is stolen from the Governor-General's suite in the middle of the night, with no clues left behind. With Scotland Yard baffled, Joanna and the Watsons are called in to investigate the theft and it becomes clear that the crime is not simply the work of a master thief, but one that could greatly aid the Germans and turn the tide of war in their favor. Time is of the essence and the blue diamond must be recovered before it begins its travels which could cause irreparable damage to the allied war plans.

An absolutely brilliant read!!

The Blue Diamond 💎 Daughter of Sherlock Holmes #6 This is a most excellently written book, and is the first I've read of the series. I definitely will buy a paperback copy later so my siblings can enjoy it as well. Joanna Watson, now daughter-in-law to the original Dr. Watson, is a marvelous detective, and is commonly consulted by Scotland Yard for difficult and time consuming cases. Her husband and Dr. Watson Sr. greatly enjoy helping her root out answers to some of the most puzzling mysteries and challenges England has to offer. The writing style is quite nice, stated matter of factly and without the pompous air of some Brit books. The London smog and mist comes to life before your eyes, as well as the interesting characters that inhabit her streets.  Simply put, I LOVED this book and can't wait to read more of this series! (Mildly) Negative Content Joanna, and Dr. John Watson Jr. & Sr. drink brandy and a couple other spirits, but just a shot or two. There is a short mention of the ways a criminal could dispose of evidence after a victim had been killed, but it's only briefly mentioned and not overly detailed. Thank you to Netgalley and the author for the e-book. The opinions and thoughts above are my own, and a positive review was not required.
