Aunt Sophie's Diamonds — Joan Smith

"JUST LIKE THE OLD DEVIL TO TAKE IT WITH HER."

Unloved while she lived, tight-fisted, tyrannical old Aunt Sophie took her revenge when she died. No one would get her diamonds. She would take them with her to her grave.

Claudia had never known Aunt Sophie or her diamonds. She didn't want them. She craved excitement, adventure. But could she, did she dare to dig up Aunt Sophie and save her diamonds?

And then there was Aunt Sophie's friend, the handsome, elegant Sir Hillary Thoreau. Claudia felt his dark, sardonic eyes follow her every move. Where did his interest lie, in the diamonds...or in Claudia?
