"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!
