Deadly Diamonds

Are diamonds really a girl’s best friend? Are they actually forever? And what is causing the sudden epidemic of diamond jewelry disappearing from households across Massachusetts? Insurance investigator Amy Lynch sets out to answer this question when theft claims at New England Casualty and Indemnity take an alarming upturn. What she discovers about the NEC&I agents who insure these diamonds takes her down a dark and disturbing road—a road from which she almost fails to return. “Norton’s latest installment in her Amy Lynch Investigation series features accessible prose and likable characters, and it benefits from the fact that mysteries set in the insurance industry are relatively rare. The story opens strongly, with a stealth murder from the perspective of the killer, and Norton flows easily from that point… A novel with appealing characters and a good setup.” —Kirkus Reviews “PK Norton is back with another finely cut mystery! It’s Amy Lynch at her best, investigating a rash of diamond robberies... Murder is in the air and Amy is in a race to solve the crime before she, too, becomes a victim. One cannot help but admire Amy as we stay up late reading to find out how she will go about cracking another beguiling case. She is resourceful, smart and just the kind of woman all of us want to root for.” —Jordan Rich, WBZ Boston, iHeart media
