“I now pronounce you husband and…”

New York City, 1923. The most talked-about wedding is quickly approaching, and PI Jax Diamond is on top of the world. The tuxedos are freshly pressed and hanging in their closets. His good friend is busy decorating the nightclub for a glorious reception, and the newspaper reporters are anxiously waiting to print the front-page headlines. Even Ace, his courageous canine partner and best man, is prancing around, anxious for the event to begin.

The only thing missing is the bride.

Three days before the wedding, a group of mastermind criminals pull off the biggest diamond heist the city has ever seen, but that’s not the only gem they steal. And boy, do they have their hands full.

Every police officer from Albany to Washington is summoned to work around the clock, hunting down the culprits. Will they find Laura in time to save her life, so she can take her vows?

Will wedding bells ring for Jax and Laura?

The Diamonds, book 7 in the Jax Diamond series, is another highly entertaining PI tale. Unlike the previous books I’ve listened to in this series The Diamonds had three separate but related story arcs to keep its readers/listeners fully engaged in finding out how Jax and Laura will make it to the church in time for their wedding, while Jax and Tim get involved in a case that becomes more personal as the story evolves. Listening to this story cements my need to listen to the eighth story in the series when it comes out in April. Once again, the voice the author chose to deliver the story using virtual voice fits the story perfectly.
