“Who knows if he didn’t make away with her here? Those things found in the Home Coppice show that she was made away with plain enough, I say.”
Jim Gregory, under-gardener at Hargreave Manor, finds something unexpected when climbing Lover’s Oak but won’t say what. Instead he’s all ears regarding the legendary ‘Luck of the Hargreaves’ diamonds, destined for the future bride of Sir Arthur, the new squire.
Sir Arthur himself then discovers a beautiful stranger, lost in the woods near the manor. She cannot recall a thing—not even her name. She is given shelter and Mary Marston, a private nurse, recognizes her—and abruptly goes missing. Nurse Marston must still be in the house, it is initially agreed—but if so, where?
Who got rid of Nurse Marston? To whom does the tobacco pouch with the floral design belong? And why was a blood-stained cuff found in the woods? These mysteries, and more, Superintendent Stokes is determined to solve. The Blue Diamond (1925) is a classic of early golden age crime fiction. This new edition, the first in over eighty years, features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans.
“Tired men, trotting home at the end of an imperfect day, pop into the library and ask for an Annie Haynes. They have not made a mistake in the street number. It is not a cocktail they are asking for…” Sketch
The Blue Diamond A Golden Age Mystery eBook Annie Haynes
Great dialogue, as usual, that allows the mystery to be explored and unopened through the observations, comments, reflections and inquiries of all the characters in the story. Although it was not difficult to recognize that there was something afoot involving the female protagonist, and the underlying motive, too, was not hard to ferret out, other mysterious happenings and suspicious personal activities keep the suspense & interest high.Characters are developed nicely and the concluding couple of chapters clear up every loose end in a relaxed but thorough manner. I've read all but one of her books, and will be starting on the last after finishing here, and regard this as among her best.

The Blue Diamond A Golden Age Mystery eBook Annie Haynes Reviews
pretty silly plot
Good book. I liked it. A little old fashioned but well written and good story line.
I enjoy all this author's books even though they were written a long time ago.
An excellent Golden Age mystery story. The author's biography is inspiring too. She was able to develop complex characters and a fine thread to a natural conclusion.
I enjoyed this book very much. The plot was so well written it kept me guessing right up to the end of the story. I would reccomend to all people. Vivian Pinson
Fun bit of period storytelling. Not Agatha Christie but in a similar though somewhat lesser vein. Not too surprising who the murderer is- one figures that out early but it is interesting to see how all the circumstances play out within the historical setting.
I must confess I did get turned around a couple of times while following her but the story was great. !! I have read all I can find of Agatha Christy's books I love them all Now i have Annie Haynes to explore Super. !!!
