Slay It With a Diamond by Rob BatesMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Max Rosen does not believe in curses so when he's offered a "cursed" diamond, he goes through with the transaction to acquire a rare black diamond. Max's daughter, Mimi, is an amateur sleuth who starts investigating the lore behind the diamond. She comes across several different versions of the story that she is able to filter out.
This was a good book that held my attention throughout. The characters are well-developed and the story is easy to follow. There is mystery and intrigue, along with a small bit of romance, although that's almost as complicated as the mystery.
This book is a part of a series but can be read as a standalone. There are mentions to previous cases involving Mimi but I don't feel that missing the backstory affected this one.
