Well this has a great story line, Even Mobsters feel remorseful about their deeds. I'd love to find out more from the book. Great review

Who stole the pearl necklace and ring set? That is the question to solve in this crime-mystery, who-dun-it novel. While solving the crime, the author also provides interesting tidbits about pearls. Great review!

I love crime mysteries, so I'd definitely like to read this novel because I'm wondering how Drew Diamond is going to handle the case of the missing pearls. The novel also seems to have a suspenseful plot and interesting characters. Thanks for your review!

I'm more into true crime than fictional but Diamond and Pearls sounds pretty exciting. I might just pick it up. Thank you for your great review!

I like to read thrillers and the book sounds interesting and intriguing with those puzzling burglaries. And I wonder how Sydney Malone is involved into all this. It will be interesting to read the book. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

What a great review! The cover of the book provided by Kindle reminded me of Agatha Christie, but when I read some of the free sample I could see that the story is far more intricate than just a simple robbery. Thanks again!

The book sounds like a interesting mixture between business and crime fiction. Not sure though whether I would be interested in reading so much information on pearls though.

The plot of this story reminds me of the short story "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant. So many twists and turns involving a piece of jewelry.

This crime mystery comes off peculiarly intriguing. I want to know how Diamond will react when he discovers about Sydney's 'side business'? Moreover, what consequences Sydney will have to face? Thank you for the review.

I am definitely intrigued by the book's plot. A great crime and mystery book gets my sleuthing juices revving. I can't wait to find out if Drew arrested Sydney or she managed to worm her way out of being discovered as the culprit. Thank you for an engaging review.

Great review! You explained what to expect without giving any major plot pieces away, and at the same time, shared some of your favorite features from the book quite well. I don't know that I'll give it a read, but thank you for the book recommendation.

When it comes to getting rich most people always do something crazy,few of them get away with it,while most of them always end up paying a heavy price.I think this book has a lot to teach about contention and how people should think about making a honest living, it's a great review.
