It is the afternoon before a grand society wedding between Juliet Phayre and the Duke of Claremanagh, when Emmy West drops by to visit the bride and to see the famed Tsarina pearls, only ever to be worn by the Duchess... supposedly. When Juliet admits she has never even seen them, Emmy lets slip she has once, even though the last duchess has been dead many years... were they worn by someone else? And who is Lyda Pavoya? And who is the bridegroom really? (6 hr 31 min)

Mystery/Romance

(3 Sterne)

“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

(4 Sterne)

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