About this audiobook
When Angela Marchmont goes to Cornwall on doctor's orders she is looking forward to a nice rest and nothing more exciting than a little sea-bathing. But her plans for a quiet holiday are dashed when she is caught up in the hunt for a diamond necklace which, according to legend, has been hidden in the old smugglers' house at Poldarrow Point for over a century.
Aided by the house's elderly owner, an irrepressible twelve-year-old, and a handsome Scotland Yard detective, Angela soon finds herself embroiled in the most perplexing of mysteries. Who is the author of the anonymous letters? Why is someone breaking into the house at night? And is it really true that a notorious jewel-thief is after the treasure too? Angela must use all her powers of deduction to solve the case and find the necklace—before someone else does.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Decent mystery, though I knew all the bad guys very early on. It was still pleasant enough to watch it all play out with one exception. And that exception, the treason I had to rate this 3 stars instead of 4, is the annoyance that is Barbara.
Writing child characters that are precocious and impulsive without being obnoxious and spoiled can be difficult and, for me, Clara did not succeed with Barbara. I hated every time the story switched to her perspective, which means I hated about half the book. Unfortunate, because I enjoyed the other entries. I will continue with the series, but keep my fingers crossed that Barbara stays far away.
