Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Series of detective/comedy novels by Anthony Horowitz, featuring would-be private eye Tim Diamond (real name Herbert Simple) and his kid brother Nick. Despite believing himself to be a genuinely brilliant detective, Tim is utterly hopeless, and all of the cases are solved by Nick him despite never getting any credit, with the occasional help or hindrance of supporting characters Chief Inspector Snape of Scotland Yard and his sidekick Boyle.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Novels: The Falcon's Malteser (1986) Public Enemy Number Two (1987) South By South East (1991) Where Seagulls Dare (2022)Novellas: The French Confection (2003) The Blurred Man (2003) I Know What You Did Last Wednesday (2003) The Greek Who Stole Christmas (2008)Short Stories: The Double Eagle Has Landed (2011)The novellas have been collected in Three of Diamonds (later retitled Four of Diamonds with the release of The Greek Who Stole Christmas). The first novel was adapted for the big screen in 1989 under the name Just Ask For Diamond, and South by South East was made into a TV series in 1991 using the same cast. A final novella intending to act as a Grand Finale, The Radius of the Lost Shark, has been in Development Hell since at least 2003, with Horowitz still promising it will be published as recently as 2020. A short story, "The Double Eagle Has Landed", was published in the Guardian in 2011, and in 2020 Horowitz announced a new story, Where Seagulls Dare, was to be released online chapter-by-chapter during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic; it was later released as a book, the first full-length entry in the series in over 30 years.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Twist Ending | |
| Diamond Brothers / int_19102429 | comment |
Twist Ending: Once in each of the first three novels. In The Falcon's Malteser, when Nick finds that Lauren has gotten to the diamonds before him. Public Enemy Number Two: Nick realises his French teacher is the Big Bad. He and Nick end up on the roof of the school, in which the teacher falls to their death, impaled on fence just as the police arrive. South by South East: Nick realises that Tim's girlfriend is the Big Bad. | |

Those Two Guys: Snape and Boyle, inspectors from Scotland Yard. They loathe the two brothers (mostly because the brothers do most of the work for them, leaving them to arrest the criminals). Nick comments his frustration about the two of them never thanking them when everything's solved. | |

Blatant Lies | |
| Diamond Brothers / int_40bb59d0 | comment |
Blatant Lies: There are several examples, mostly from Nick trying to cover up Tim's incompetence, but the best example has to be in Public Enemy Number Two, when Tim announces to a group of criminals he and Nick are meant to infiltrate that he is a private detective; as the mood rapidly turns frosty, Nick makes up a spur-of-the-moment tale that he is a private investigator of water, "having to check there is enough H". Incredibly, this works. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Diamond Brothers / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Most of the tales. The case is solved, but the brothers get no recognition, and any bit of potential happiness they have doesn't last long. With the ending of The Falcon's Malteser, the MacGuffin has been stolen by Nick's sidekick, but she sends him a diamond that he and Tim exchange for money. They have enough to go on holiday, but Tim breaks his leg before they get on the plane and the rest of the money is spent on his treatment. The Blurred Man ends with the villains caught and arrested, but (yet again,) Scotland Yard aren't appreciative (the villains even nearly shot at their helicopter before the brothers jumped at them), and Nick and Tim have to tell Joe Carter the truth about his philanthropist pen pal. | |

Always Second Best | |
| Diamond Brothers / int_4f4e43cc | comment |
Always Second Best: In I Know What You Did Last Wednesday, the mysterious killer, Captain Randle/Johnny Nadler, came second in every subject in school and never really stood out of the group he was part of in school (which consisted of everybody who came first). He doesn't respond too well; he lures everybody who bested him to a secluded island and kills them with cruel and ironic death traps which somehow relate to the subject they beat him in (poisoned the person who came first in Chemistry, stabbing the person who came first in French with a model of the Eiffel Tower, etc.). | |

Police Are Useless | |
| Diamond Brothers / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: Snape and Boyle, and the rest of Scotland Yard (Scotland Yard, by the way, is the most prestige police system that would track down the worst criminals, along with MI6). Nick (and Tim) are seen as nuisances that get in the way of their cases. Unfortunately, Nick's intuition and intelligence force them to back down. One would think that the Diamond brothers' work would get them recognition or any other reward, but no — each episode begins with Tim and Nick starving in their fixer-upper apartment waiting for a client with a pile of money. | |

Direct Line to the Author | |
| Diamond Brothers / int_6a3c49f | comment |
Direct Line to the Author: The introduction to Three of Diamonds claims that Horowitz was approached by the Brothers to write their adventures up as novels. (A later version in one of the Two of Diamonds printings explained why the books are written in the first person from Nick's perspective by saying that Nick wrote the manuscript, then Horowitz rewrote it.) | |

Odd Name Out | |
| Diamond Brothers / int_a0eeac39 | comment |
Odd Name Out: The first six books' titles are all parodies of crime novels and movies such as The Maltese Falcon and North By Northwest. The last book's title is taken from How the Grinch Stole Christmas!. Similarly, Nick's narration in that book implies that the next book (if there is one) will be called The Radius of the Lost Shark. | |

Clueless Detective: Tim, often taken to extremes; the one time he manages to solve a case, not only is it completely by accident, he's on the run from the law at the time, and he promptly destroys the priceless Ming vase he was meant to be looking for by accident. The logo of the series features the words 'Diamond Brothers Detective Agency', with a scratch over the first 't' in 'Detective' making it seem like it actually says 'Defective'. Deliberately invoked by the villain of The Greek Who Stole Christmas, who hires Tim to investigate the case knowing his reputation as the worst detective in London. | |

Perpetual Poverty: Sort-of. The brothers do actually make the odd windfall - they just always lose it not long afterwards.
