“The Great Pearl Secret” was just ok. It’s a mystery/romance among the very rich, with a fortune teller and an ancestral Russian necklace thrown in for good measure. I had a hard time remembering who was who among several side characters. It was a little odd to have basically the whole plot explained near the end by one of the thieves, rather than being given the clues bit by bit along the way.
Trite story, filled with stereotypes

Characters are stereotypical (rich beautiful American heiress, handsome impoverished English duke, exotic siren, etc), but worth listening to on a long car trip.
