Mrs. Gainsborough’s Diamonds: A Story is a novel written by Julian Hawthorne and published in 1888. Set in the late 19th century, the story revolves around the theft of a valuable diamond necklace belonging to Mrs. Gainsborough, a wealthy and influential woman. The investigation into the theft is led by detective Allan Armadale, who must navigate the complex social dynamics of high society in order to solve the case. Along the way, Armadale encounters a cast of colorful characters, including a scheming rival detective, a mysterious foreign countess, and a group of amateur detectives who are determined to solve the case on their own. As the investigation progresses, secrets are revealed, alliances are formed and broken, and the true culprit is ultimately unmasked. With its intricate plot, vivid characters, and richly detailed setting, Mrs. Gainsborough’s Diamonds is a classic example of the detective fiction genre and a compelling read for fans of mystery and suspense.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
