From the cover: Murder, theft and abduction are the last things of Constable Morton''s mind when he takes his fiancee Catherine Marsden to choose an engagement ring. But as the couple inspect the biggest diamond, Catherine Marsden has ever seen, disaster strikes. The Hatton Garden jewellery shop is raided, its proprietor John Searle is killed, the valuable diamond is stolen and Catherine is abducted.

Murder mystery set in Victorian England. Constable Morton and his fiancé Catherine are shopping for an engagement ring when a man enters the store, shoots the shop-keeper, steals a diamond and abducts Catherine.

This was a good mystery. And it kept me guessing right up until the end, plenty of plot twists. I liked the setting and that Constable Morton was from the upper-classes, it makes for very interesting reading.
