THE PEARL DIVER is the book Massey fans have been waiting for her to write. It is a novel that all mystery fans will enjoy. Skimming the pages is like a won-ton soup, words flow fast and furious. This is a deeply personal story and at the same time one of modern “intrigue”. Rei is in the States, D.C. to be precise and she lives through both personal peril and growth to deliver a powerful story. There is a genuine mystery here for Rei to solve.
A Pearl Diver married an American soldier and then seemingly died. Why then must Rei solve this mystery to make her own future safe? And why is every word of this tale so magnificent? Massey has proven herself as a genre writer but in THE PEARL DIVER she does that something extra that readers revel in and other writers can only hope to achieve.
