The third in Trollope's Palliser series, The Eustace Diamonds bears all the hallmarks of his later works, blending dark cynicism with humour and a keen perception of human nature.

Before he dies, the disillusioned Sir Florian discovers all this, but does not think to change the generous terms of his will. While clever and beautiful, Lizzie has several character flaws the greatest of these is an almost pathological delight in lying, even when it cannot benefit her. Lizzie Greystock, a fortune-hunter who ensnares the sickly, dissipated Sir Florian Eustace, is soon left a very wealthy widow and mother.
