Diamond Solitaire by Peter Lovesey
4.0
A unique case, featuring a missing autistic Japanese girl at Harrods. A case which quickly spirals from London to New York and Tokyo.
Whilst quite enjoyable, it does take the reader to stretch their imagination and plausibility to all the goings on in the plot. Quite a lot to take in from terrorism, a sinful priest, mafia, pharmaceuticals, dodgy dealings, murder, kidnap, sumo and that is with a few things missing. It is a fun read though and despite him being a curmudgeon, Peter Diamond is very likeable and the payment he received did bring a slight tear to my eye.
I'm looking forward to the next book, who knows where we will end up. One thing is for sure don't ask Peter to paint!
