Customer Reviews

great mystery romance

I'm not certain if I've ever read any of Susan Tuttle's work in the past, but after reading "The Rare Jewel of Everleigh Wheaton", I'm definitely interested in reading more from her. The book is a dual-time story that revolves around three young women who team up to find a royal jewel that has been lost for decades. The story is full of mystery, adventure, faith, and a bit of romance too. The cast of characters is diverse, with each character having their unique personalities and personal boundaries that are tested as the hunt for the jewel progresses. I was delighted to learn that this book is the first in a new split-time series, and I can't wait to read the next installment. If you're a fan of contemporary mystery and suspense romance stories, then you'll want to read this book. I read a complimentary copy of the ebook through NetGalley for JustReads Tours, and I was not required to write a positive review. However, the opinions expressed above are entirely my own.

Captivating

“Wishing about the past is wasted emotion if it doesn’t lead to transformation in your present.” What a stunning dual timeline novel! I’ve enjoyed Susan Tuttle’s books in the past but this one had me completely mesmerized and captivated. I am partial to dual timeline novels and the author has created a beautifully intricate plot with an Austrian dynasty in early 1900s woven into present day royal heirloom treasure hunt. I loved the Charlie’s Angels-like team of three women as the treasure-hunting trio and am looking forward to the next two books in the series as we get to know them better one by one. Everleigh was a complex character - aloof, brilliant, and ready to step out of her shell yet so broken, hurt, and confused. Niles was a great character to balance out Everleigh and I adored his sarcasm and hard-won loyalty. Their banter was phenomenal. Aunt Gertie was my favorite; though weighed down by a medical condition, she was sharp, witty, wise, and not afraid to speak her mind. The faith lessons sprinkled throughout the book were spot on and relevant. I loved traveling through Europe and the US with the team as they followed the clues to the heirloom; it was definitely a memorable adventure. I received a complimentary copy courtesy of Kregel Publications and via JustRead Tours and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are my own.
