The Castlecourt Diamond Case

Volume 2

Beschreibung

"The Castlecourt Diamond Case" is a lighthearted novella that becomes almost a comedy of manners, a glimpse into early 20th century high society. Its subtitle is "BEING A COMPILATION OF THE STATEMENTS MADE BY THE VARIOUS PARTICIPANTS IN THIS CURIOUS CASE NOW, FOR THE FIRST TIME, GIVEN TO THE PUBLIC." The story's structure is simple: Six of the story's characters give their statements about the theft of the diamonds, and in each statement a few more facts are revealed. See if you can figure out the truth before the Marchioness tells all at the end!

Autor

Not much is known about Geraldine Bonner. She was born in 1870 in New York. Her father, a journalist and historical writer, moved his family from Staten Island to the mining camps of Colorado when Geraldine was 10. Two years later they moved again, this time to San Francisco, where John Bonner became the editor of the San Francisco Argonaut. Geraldine started writing for the Argonaut at 17, and wrote her first novel, Hard Pan, in 1900. It was set in the boisterous mining camps of her youth, and she took the novel's title as her pen name. Geraldine wrote short stories for Harper's and Vogue, among other periodicals, as well as several novels.
