[Lady Ellen Investigates 05] • Death by Diamond · A 1920s Cozy Mystery (Lady Ellen Investigates Book 5)

Lady Ellen settles back into life at Ashcombe Hall and eagerly awaits the return of Captain Ernest Hamilton from Cairo. But her peace is shattered when a notorious thief is found dead on the neighbouring Worthington estate. Heading over to console Lady Jane Worthington, Ellen’s day takes an unexpected turn – a plane crashes on her land, piloted by flame-haired Alex, the Duke of Loxborough, who is once again masquerading under a pseudonym. As charming as he is, Ellen is unnerved by his presence – she does not trust him.

Ellen discovers that the dead thief had been attempting to steal a pair of rare pink diamonds, recently acquired by Lord Worthington and rumoured to be cursed. Though Ellen would prefer to leave the matter to the police, Jane’s pleas – and Alex’s insistence on staying in Ashcombe until the case is solved – draw her reluctantly into the investigation. She wants the mystery and Alex gone before Hamilton returns!
