The Trouble with Diamonds

Tackling and then sitting on top of your boss is hardly the way to begin a new job. But how was Jeff to know that the chubby prowler was Ambrose Bunker, owner of the Westham Inn where Jeff applied for work? Fortunately, Bunker — embarrassed by being caught ransacking a guest's room — is willing to forgive and forget. Besides, he's got bigger problems. A great mystery buff, Bunker is convinced there's trouble afoot and enlists Jeff to help protect a priceless diamond necklace from a bevy of suspicious characters. Jeff's job turns into a rollicking comedy of errors in amateur sleuthing — complete with mistaken identities, muddled motives, and crazy chase scenes. Fans of Scott Corbett's fast, funny fiction will breeze through this wild and wacky whodunit, laughing all the way.
