Publisher's Summary
One time police detective Peter Diamond loses his job as a security guard when he fails to spot a small Japanese child hiding in the furniture department of Harrods. Weeks later, she's still unclaimed; Diamond is unable to forget the frightened eyes of the silent little girl and takes on the challenge of uncovering her identity. Now Diamond is back in the sleuthing business, following a trail that leads from London to New York to Tokyo and to a shocking climax that may shatter his heart or cost him his life.

Enthusiastically recommended
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The writing is vigorous and moves forward in several settings without missing a step. The performance by Simon Prebble is exceptional. Two thumbs up!

Inspirarional
This is not your usual British mystery- it's a globe trotting story with intrigue galore. Peter Lovesey has me hooked.

Great mystery!
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The narration was excellent! Many hints were given but I didn’t understand them until the final chapters. A wonderful character-Peter Diamond! I highly recommend this author. I’m off to find more books by this author!

More sympathetic.
When I listened to the first book in this series, I did not like Peter Diamond much and wondered if I would continue with the series. I got that book and this one for free, so I decided to keep reading. I am glad I did because Peter is a more sympathetic hero in this book. The writer was wise to have his wife more evident. The mystery was interesting, too.

Passable Mystery. Klunky Delivery.
Ex-Police Superintendent Peter Diamond - now a struggling private citizen - applies his dogged determination, expertise, and considerable intuition to finding the family of a nonverbal autistic Japanese 7-year-old girl discovered hiding in a department store in the middle of the night. Simultaneously, Peter Lovesey develops an involved narrative following an unscrupulous pharmaceutical company in transition after the suicide of its CEO.
Both plotlines are handled capably - albeit imperfectly.. but remain so distinctly unrelated - until the climax - that the audiobook actually tries listeners' patience (Lovesey could have dropped hints or employed some foreshadowing or something.. but instead simply asks his readers to "hang around"). If you can manage it, the payoff is considerable (the plot resolution is clever).. but 'Diamond Solitaire' is unnecessarily a bit of a slog.
On the fortuitous side, reader Simon Prebble turns in an impressive performance.. by no means flawless (he reads too slowly, for example).. but characterized by spot-on diction, timbre, cadence, and tone - and distinctive, realistic voice-acting.
In toto, this somewhat awkwardly told procedural rates 5.5 stars out of 10. The audiobook is appropriately offered as a 'Plus' selection: it's worth a listen to any fan of the "mystery" genre - but it wouldn't merit a Credit if they asked for one.
