This sounds like a great book and I loved reading your review! It really sounds like it’s right up my alley, except for the gore and violence. I’m also very sensitive to child abuse and I don’t know if I could read this particular book.

The complex character development alone is worth the five hundred pages of this book. I have yet to come across characters that feel as real as the ones that are described by the author. I also like that you provided your own commentary about the book and how you related to each of the characters. I felt as if I was in a college sociology class rather than reading a book review.

This book is a missing little girl mystery and is very interesting, but a father should be able to raise his daughter with the help of another woman just not a rich one.

Wow! Great job on writing this review! I definitely want to read this one!! :-) Thank you!

Fit for mature readers, today's BOTD is a crime thriller filled with mystery, secrets, and family drama. At 500 pgs, readers are in for the long haul, but the engaging storyline, well-developed characters, and twists & turns will keep them quickly turning pages through to the end! Sounds awesome...thanks again!! :-)

The storyline is so thrilling, this is my favourite genre. I am curious to know what happens to Rachel and is she really missing. I am adding the book right away to my shelf.

A missing child and misleading information? Sounds like a grasping book. The number of pages is frightening though, so I'll have to see.

A very much chilling family drama book "Pearl River Mansion" by Richard Schwartz, which is focused on family secrets and uncovering of nefarious plans. A cold tussle is there between Tyler and his mother Joan Chandler regarding taking care for his twins. The story appears to be entertaining to me.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Judging by the review, the book is worthwhile. Family dramas, secrets, and mysteries are my bread and butter. I can't wait to dig, gory details and all.
