"The Wedding Necklace" is my first exposure to Author Adrianne Lee and it won't be my last. This talented author made a lasting impression on me. Her fictional novel offers a touch of romance, murder, suspense, and mystery. Her style reminds me of an adult version of one of my childhood favorites...the Nancy Drew Mysteries. I very much enjoy this genre and Ms. Lee did not disappoint me.The main characters, Alyssa Carlyle, a successful jewelry designer, and Craig Rival, the owner of the magnificent and coveted diamond necklace set the tone for this well-written novel. The Purity, is a one of a kind necklace, designed with the most beautiful blue diamonds. Many years earlier, in the possession of its original owner, the necklace is unfortunately and regrettably lost in a poker game. Alyssa's dying grandmother, affectionally known as Grandy, has every desire to see this cherished necklace returned to her family, the DeHavilands, where she feels it rightfully belongs. It was originally intended as a wedding present. According to Grandy's way of thinking, ever since it fell into the wrong hands, no wedding in her family has stood the test of time including her much loved granddaughter's. Craig Rival is not about to sell The Purity for sentimental reasons of his own.The plot and intrigue that develop around this valuable "wedding necklace" is bound to entice any reader who enjoys a mystery romance. Author Adrianne Lee, shows not only great talent but also good taste, in this refreshing and capitivating novel.
