In her search for a rare gem, will Everleigh end up uncovering the true treasure of her heart?

Personal care nurse Everleigh Wheaton knows it only takes a few well-placed lies to ruin a reputation. She's experienced it time and time again. But there's a silver lining to repeatedly proving herself: she's confident and self-reliant.

When she loses yet another job and an enigmatic stranger offers her a potential way out, she's game. After all, she loves a good mystery, and an invitation to visit the legendary Halstead Manor is irresistible. But she's not about to let her guard down--especially with the other women who received the same invitation.

A strange voice on the phone tells them he's gathered the three of them to work together as treasure hunters. The first assignment requires Everleigh to be a traveling nurse for retired FBI agent Gertrude Levine, who has one cold case she just can't let go of: the Florentine diamond that went missing when the Austrian Empire fell.

With Everleigh's keen ability to solve puzzles, Natalie Daughtry's vast knowledge of history, and Brooke Sumner's connections to the antiques world, they're bound to track down the diamond. Except that Gertie's nephew, Niles Butler, doesn't trust Everleigh's innocent act . . . even if he finds himself falling for her. Worse, Everleigh's walls of self-preservation may doom the entire team.

Hints of real-life historical events combined with contemporary characters make this first book in the Treasures of Halstead Manor series a masterful blend of romance, mystery, and strong female friendships. Readers of authors like Denise Hunter and Nicole Deese who enjoy unfolding relationships and the organic discovery of God's love will relish this new series.

Action Packed Treasure Hunt with a Splash of Romance

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2024

Verified Purchase

The Rare Jewel of Everleigh Wheaton by Susan L. Tuttle is an action packed treasure hunt with a splash of romance. This book swept me away from the opening chapter to the very end of the hunt for the Florentine diamond. It features a Charlie’s Angel-esque group of treasure hunters as they follow the historical path of a Habsburg princess and the crown jewels. I loved this story and how Tuttle wove in short historical chapters to complement the contemporary story. It provides the perfect blend of romance, intrigue, and history to offer a compelling story featuring an excellent cast of secondary characters including an octogenarian. If you loved Kelli Sturt’s The Master Craftsman than Tuttle’s new book needs to be your next read.

Treasure Hunt, Adventure and Romance!

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2024

Susan Tuttle has started such a great series! I was intrigued the entire time and wanted to know how it would end. Definitely a page turner.

This had Charlie's Angels/ National Treasure vibes and I loved it! There is plenty of adventure as the cast of characters are set into a hunt for a missing diamond. I absolutely enjoyed all the characters in the story but this story focuses on Everleigh. I really enjoyed the journey that we went with her. I really could relate to her introvert side and anxiety of letting others get too close to you. She truly goes through a change and her walls come crumbling thanks to the help of Gertrude and Niles.

I absolutely loved Gertrude! She was definitely my favorite character. She has this no nonsense wisdom and bits of truth bombs that were perfect additions to the story. It was great to see that even despite her disability she didn't let that stop her from being active and a big role in the treasure hunt. Her grandson Niles was overprotective but he also helps Everleigh break down those walls of letting people in. Of course it doesn't hurt that you can feel their attraction for each other jump off the page!!

The author did such a great job with the different settings and the historical aspect of the storyline. At first I thought it would turn into a dual timeline but it is not. She provides you with enough historical background to try solve the mystery of the missing diamond. I mean if you are like me, when I read these types of stories I want to solve the mystery myself. I must say I failed and I was surprised at the end.

I will not divulge too much of this story but know that this is a page turner. I cannot wait to read book 2 and learn more about these ladies that all have very different qualities and gifts they bring to the team. I also can't wait to find out more about the mystery man... Caspar! (you'll have to read the book to know what I am talking about!!)

Overall I really enjoyed this book. It had adventure, mystery, romance and a spiritual thread that focused on God's acceptance and friendships. God didn't intend for us to do life alone despite our intorverted selves. Definitely a must for your reading list!

Sparkles as a Radiant Gem!

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2024

Susan L. Tuttle's The Rare Jewel of Everleigh Wheaton sparkles as a radiant gem in the realm of Christian fiction, seamlessly intertwining mystery, romance, and faith to create a narrative that resonates on a meaningful level. This five-star read is a captivating series opener that promises an enchanting journey.

Meet Everleigh Wheaton, a personal care nurse and a remarkable introvert with a passion for unraveling puzzles. Tuttle's meticulous character development brings Everleigh to life, endearing her to readers as a rare jewel with qualities that reflect both resilience and self-reliance. Her journey, marked by a history of undeserved tarnishing, is instantly relatable, making her a compelling figure for introverts and readers alike.

The narrative unfolds like a carefully curated treasure hunt, with Everleigh joined by fellow sleuths Natalie Daughtry and Brooke Sumner on a journey rooted in a century-long, international mystery. Tuttle seamlessly weaves real-life historical events with well-developed characters, creating a storyline rich in detail and emotional depth.

The chemistry between Everleigh and Gertie's nephew, Niles Butler, adds layers of depth to the narrative. Tuttle skillfully navigates their relationship, infusing the story with a blend of flirtation and heartfelt moments, keeping readers eagerly flipping through the pages.

A standout feature of Tuttle's writing is her ability to infuse faith into the narrative. The delicate and impactful way she incorporates spiritual elements lingers long after the book is closed.

One distinctive aspect that resonated profoundly with me was Tuttle's portrayal of introversion. The narrative's depiction of the introvert's experience prompted a serious reevaluation of my own "protective walls." Spending time with God in prayer and His Word continually leads me to surrender every anxious thought, insecurity, and aching wound. As I navigate my own journey, surrendering all to Jesus, I know He will instruct and direct me in the changes He desires. By consistently entrusting myself to Almighty God and maintaining unwavering trust, I am convinced that I will witness His transformative power. Acknowledging my flaws, imperfections, and quirks and anticipating inevitable course corrections, I am totally committed to pressing into the One who graciously forgives all my sins and covers all my flaws with His boundless grace.

This book isn’t merely a great read; if you allow it, it may extend to you a transformative experience that not only celebrates vulnerability but also glorifies God’s power and guidance.

I received a digital copy of The Rare Jewel of Everleigh Wheaton from Kregel Publications via JustRead Publicity Tour. I am not required to write a positive review nor paid to do so. This is my honest and unbiased review. My thoughts and opinions expressed in this book review are my own. My review focuses on this story’s remarkable content, ensuring transparency and reliability.
