When a series has been running for 13 books, it can get stale, but not Bobby Owen. In this instalment Bobby is sent to France on behalf of a rich, influential family to investigate the death of an aunt. The police in France concluded that she had committed suicide by falling into a well, but the family is not so sure and her stash of diamonds is also missing. A very clever plot.
