From the theft of a rare diamond and brutal murder of its owner, to an ingenious plot concocted by the irrepressible Jessica Fletcher to uncover the stolen gem and bring a band of jewel thieves to justice, The Queen's Jewels is a fast-paced, gripping caper that sweeps the reader along at a brisk pace. Each chapter ends in a cliffhanger, holding the reader's attention right to the story's conclusion. Adding even more sparkle to The Queen's Jewels is Jessica's friendship with a fellow passenger aboard the luxurious Queen Mary 2 - an encounter ending on a bittersweet note that will no doubt remain in Jessica's heart forever. Bravo to Donald Bain and Jessica Fletcher for a sparkling gem of a murder mystery, woven with an intriguing plot and memorable characters. The Queen's Jewels shines among the best in the Murder, She Wrote series.
