The Attenbury Emeralds by Jill Paton Walsh.
It begins with Lord Peter Wimsey telling Helen, his wife, about his first case back in 1921 - the recovery of the Attenbury emeralds. The case comes back to haunt him when, 30 years later, the newest Lord Attenbury (his father has just died) comes to ask for Lord Peter's help with the emeralds once again. With Bunter's help the Wimsey's try to trace the jewels and find that more than one murder has occurred because of them. Are the jewels cursed or is it the family? Jill Paton Walsh has done a very nice job of taking Dorothy Sayers characters and continuing their sleuthing careers.
