Summary
Missing diamonds. Mysterious deaths. And all that jazz.
London, 1925. With their band the Dizzy Heights, jazz musicians Ivor ‘Skins’ Maloney and Bartholomew ‘Barty’ Dunn are used to improvising as they play the Charleston for flappers and toffs, but things are about to take a surprising turn.
Superintendent Sunderland has had word that a deserter who stole a fortune in diamonds as he fled the war is a member of the Aristippus private members’ club in Mayfair - where the Dizzy Heights have a residency. And the thief is planning to steal a hoard of jewels hidden there under the cover of a dance contest.
As mutual pal Lady Hardcastle has suggested, Skins and Dunn are perfectly placed to be Sunderland’s eyes and ears - and Skins’s wife Ellie soon lends a hand with a bit of light snooping. But the stakes change dramatically when a mysterious death at the club brings a sinister note to the investigation.
With the dance contest fast approaching, the trio must solve the mystery of the missing diamonds, unmask the murderer, and prevent more deadly crimes - all without missing a beat.

Dizzy Heights
finished this book (book 1) now (mistakenly listened to book 2 1st). loved this one too. whilst the story ambles along nicely, it's the interactions between the characters (narrated superbly) that I really enjoyed. book 2 was better overall, but it was nice being with the characters again. I'm led to believe they're introduced first in the Lady Hardcastle Series, which are now on my list of listens.

Quite a gem
It was an engaging romp, but I was expecting Lady Hardcastle and maid Flo Armstrong

The Deadly Mystery of the Missing Diamonds
This is another terrific mystery, where the best rhythm section and Ellie solve the puzzle. Read brilliantly by Simon Mattacks and Elizabeth Knowelden.

Really enjoyable
I really enjoyed this audiobook. Having listened to the Lady Hardcastle mystery series, I was familiar with the characters. This new series takes place in the twenties, so it has a different flare yet it keeps all the charming aspects of the original series, including charming characters, witty dialogue, fun and cosy story… and I particularly enjoyed the narrator, who has done amazing job bringing the characters alive and with the various accent!
