Sounds interesting the idea of falling in love with a burglar who is also a widow, and the aftermath circumstances give thrilling moments in this fictional work.

What a tragically romantic story. Very bittersweet. When they got robbed its as if whoever did it knew where to find the cash and jewelery. I thought the detective did a good job and had some sort of paper charisma. Overall, I enjoyed the sample I read.

The plot seems quite intriguing with many questions to answer. Were the pearls found and returned? Did Drew prove that his love was also a crook? How did he deal with it? This seems to be a good read. Thanks for the review.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting crime/mystery novel following a real estate broker who has a side job of stealing money and jewelry from apartments and a retired police officer looking to buy an apartment. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

This one sounds really intriguing! Jewelry thefts, burglaries, criminals, and cleverly named detectives pull me in, but I also love the added element of "pearl history" that's been included. Thanks for your persuasive review!

The premise sounds intriguing. A cat-and-mouse story with an interesting twist. The business aspect of it adds icing on the cake. Thanks for the review.

I also thought a pearl, is a pearl. I thought they are all the same size. The way that you have summarized the book is very informative. I would love to give it a try. Why did Sydney have to resort to such actions? What happens when Diamond finds evidence against her? This is a gripping book because I love suspense. Thanks for the wonderful review.
