THE MYSTERY OF THE FIVE HUNDRED DIAMONDS (PT 1) by ROBERT BARR

We introduce in this story the vain French detective Eugene Valmont, who VERY likely was the inspiration for Agatha Christie's vain Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. Barr wrote this short mystery in 1906 and its a pretty good story- here a very valuable diamond necklace which has fallen into the hands of the french government goes up for auction and Chief detective Eugene Valmont is assigned to protect not only the diamond but the person who buys it. It turns into quite a story!Try the new "Tales of Escape & Suspense"- links below!ANDROID USERS- 1001 Tales of Escape & Suspense at Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/....2HQYk53AJHTOgBTLBzyP Stories From The Old West at Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/....0c2fc0cGwJBcPfyC8NWN Radio Crime Solvers at Spotify- https://open.spotify.com/show/....0UAUS12lnS2063PWK9CZ Best of Jack London at Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/....2HzkpdKeWJgUU9rbx3Nq Radio Days at Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/....5jyc4nVoe00xoOxrhyAa Classic Short Stories & Tales at Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/....6rzDb5uFdOhfw5X6P5lk Heroes, Legends, Histories & Mysteries at Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/....6rO7HELtRcGfV48UeP8a Sherlock Holmes Stories & The Best of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle at Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/....4dIgYvBwZVTN5ewF0JPa Ghost Stories & Tales of the Macabre on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/....5P4hV28LgpG89dRNMfSD Stories for the Road on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/....6FhlsxYFTGNPiSMYxM9O 1001 Greatest Love Stories on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/....5sUUFDVTatnGt7FiNQvS History's Best Storytellers: (INTERVIEWS) on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/....3QyZ1u4f9OLb9O32KX6G USERSNew! 1001 Tales of Escape and Suspense at Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/....podcast/1001-tales-o 1001 Stories From The Old West- https://podcasts.apple.com/us/....podcast/1001-stories 1001's Best of Jack London-
