A book with well-developed characters could not be more inviting. Thanks for the review.

The mystery blend of characters sums up the fact that it is a story you just want to view as twists and turns at best. Rachael's love iin the heart of all is a journey of discovery. I am fascinated. I am really curious. Great review!

Pearl River Mansion ~ is a Mysterious Legal Book which tells an interesting detective story of a mansion in the South, when his wife, Sarah, dies, his mother, Joan, wants to adopt his daughter, Rachel.


Tyler Chandler despises his mother's wealth and her ability to buy anything or anyone. He was determined not to let that happen to him. Intriguing. Suspenseful. Only for mature readers.


Thanks to the Author

I don’t like the mystery and crime drama, but I hope people who do give this book a try. The Chandlers sound like a family full of mystery.

This seems to be a chilling suspense novel and I am looking forward to digging into this one to find out why Rachael is missing and what her grandmother Joan is up to. And I am confused why Tyler is unusually indifferent about his daughter. Intriguing!

Thank you for your excellent review. I want to read this book, but 500 pages is very long, so some thought mush be given. But again excellent review.
