"[...]to send it this way, through the mail—unregistered—without some method of identification! Another sharp scrutiny of box and cotton and wrappings left him in deep perplexity. Then another idea came. One of the letters, of course! The owner of the diamond had sent it this way, perhaps to be set, and had sent instructions under another cover. An absurd, even a reckless thing to do, but ——! And Mr. Latham attacked the heap of letters neatly stacked up in front of him. There were thirty-six of them, but not one even remotely hinted at diamonds. In order to be perfectly sure, Mr. Latham went through his mail a [...]".

I had read the short story "Problem of Cell 13" right before this one and was interested in reading more Thinking Machine mysteries. As it turns out, this is not about the Thinking Machine, though it is an interesting read. The book begins with a perfect diamond being delivered to an expert diamond dealer. There is no return address, no note explaning the mysterious appearance of the valuable diamond. It is estimated to be worth millions. Later he discover that not only has a diamond been sent to him, but to four other American diamond dealers. All the diamonds match perfectly, even the top diamond expert can't tell one from another. Who sent them? Why? He places detectives on the job. No diamonds matching the description have been imported from any other country. Were they smuggled? or is there some other explanation? Read and find out!

In my search for more, I found THE LEAK and THE DIAMOND MASTER on Amazon. The price was perfect. With a Kindle, the price was zero.THE DIAMOND MASTER does not include Futrelle's character Augustus S.F.X Dusenm Ph.D.,LL.D.,F.R.X.,MD, but the storyline is very much in the "Thinking Machine" tradition.I evaluate stories by answering two questions: First, does the storyline distract me from the exercise machine that I am using while reading the book. For me, the answer was YES. So, that's good. Second, could I figure the ending. Well, sort of. But I needed to finish the novel to make sure I was correct. So that's good.In the end, THE DIAMOND MASTER is a good read - especially considering the price!
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Utterly charming mystery By Mia Random find, a freebie, so sure, why not. Turns out this was a pleasant surprise, nice short mystery. Really nice premise, a treat of too many diamonds, fairly reasonable resolution. The first half of the story more fun than the last, but the best thing about this novella was its charm. Old, but not dated in a tedious way, the writing was very enjoyable plus it was good to be reminded that once upon a time mysteries were solved without all the advantages of modern technology. Fun quick read of a bygone era's crime and detection.
