Reviews

[Cath · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a funny and light read.
Lucy's father is missing. A man with memory loss turns up at her doorstep. They fall in love and go search for her father and a missing statue which had a daimond called "the devil's daimond" .
Lots of simple Sherlock-Holmes-like scenes.
