Who owns the Eustace Diamonds? Lizzie Eustace claims that Sir Florian Eustace, her late husband, gave them to her. But Mr. Camperdown, the family solicitor, insists that they are an heirloom, to be passed down from generation to generation. Lizzie is both beautiful and clever, yet Mr. Camperdown believes her to be a scheming liar. And Mr. Camperdown is right! The battle for the diamonds rages until a robbery intervenes and they disappear. Or do they...? Will the scheming and manipulative Lizzie ever get what she deserves?
The third and least political in Trollope's six-volume Palliser series, this audiobook features a most remarkable heroine. Humorously cynical, Trollope shows his insight into human nature, painting each character's flaws. But how will their flaws determine their fate?
Anthony Trollope was one of the most popular and prolific novelists of the 19th century and his work is considered some of the greatest fiction of the era.

This can absolutely be read alone, without any connection to the earlier works, and it sounds from some of the reviews as if readers who are fond of the Palliser tales are not pleased to have their main characters shunted to the side of the stage here. I couldn't get enough of this book; by the time I saw I was down to my last 15 minutes, I had already downloaded another Trollope read by Mr. West. I just may have to invent a reason for a road trip so I can barrel through all these wonderful stories, read to me by an actor with strong talent and a definite understanding of Trollope.

What about Timothy West’s performance did you like?
Timothy West was fantastic as always. His performance is superb in bringing Trollope's characters to life.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I found it less gripping than other Trollope novels as the characters were so thoroughly dislikable. I had no compassion for them. BUT having said that, it is a good story overallGood Trollope but unlikable characters
