Product Description

When a necklace is as beautiful as the Esmaldi necklace with its hundred sparkling diamonds, it is not surprising that it causes powerful emotions. It is an object that people will do anything to obtain – even murder. For Al Barney, general idler and layabout, this comes as no surprise for he knows the peculiar history that the necklace holds – an ancient story of passion, jealousy and hatred. Yet as events unfold, it becomes clear that this violent story is far from over…. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars holiday reading, 15 Oct 2009

By	John Davison - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: An Ear to the Ground (Paperback)

This is vintage James Hadley Chase: simple stuff, a great sense of place and character, an afternoon's light read.

Unlike Agatha Christie, you don't spend time with JHC trying to work out who dunnit. You know from the beginning of the book who the villain is, what he wants to do, and how he intends to do it. The exciting bit is knowing it is all going to go horribly wrong.
