I've learned more about pearls from the review of this book than I have anywhere else. Of course, that means that I know next to nothing about pearls besides the fact that they're valuable. Sounds like an interesting read.

Crime thrillers are usually a good bet, but I especially like the pearl business angle! That's unusual.

This sounds like such a good read. I appreciated that you highlighted the educational qualities of this book. That is truly remarkable that the author highlighted all the little details of the pearl and precious jewelry industry :) .

Such an interesting review. Now I really want to know what happened between Drew and Sydney... you definitely piqued my interest. I most certainly will read this book.

Sounds like a fun read. And also informative (for anyone who wants to get into the jewel stealing business!)

But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead...The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

This sounds like a unique read! Not only does it have mystery and action, but it also talks about how certain businesses can land you in trouble with the mob. Congrats on the book of the day. Great review.

The review sounds soo promising and i would sure love to read that has so much tense and intense scene in it. This sounds like a simple story that takes a sudden turn and boom we are into a fast paced thriller. Wanted to read an action packed book and this seems the right one.

This one sounds like an interesting book with a dynamic cast. It’s intriguing to me there are pearls of wisdom as well as facts about pearls. Apparently, this book has a lot going on but pulls together nicely to make an enjoyable read. Definitely worth a try.

So mysterious and enticing! Cover definitely sets the mood with danger lurking in the darkness and great treasure seductively put on careless display. Very interested how it will develop beyond description in review. So, yeah, pretty sure guarantee I will try to get my hands on the book!

I'm not typically interested in mysteries, but the lack of dead bodies makes this one appealing. If nothing else, I'll learn more about pearls. Thanks for the review.

Would never guess the genre of this book is crime and mystery from the book title! A lovely review, the book sounds very interesting. Especially because it involves business ideas, would probably be so inspirational!

The plot reads like a movie and I wonder whether Sydney's shenanigans were caught. I have also learnt a thing or two about pearls. There is surely much knowledge to be gained from reading.
