Book Description:
Sarah Morgan's latest mystery arrives at Heavenly Presents along with her old friend Renee Torres, who brings a stunning quilt that belonged to her recently deceased aunt. Together, they realize that this Baltimore album quilt includes pieces from a famous nineteenth-century artist, Emily Deveau―meaning the value of the piece just skyrocketed! What was such a precious item doing in Renee's aunt's possession?
News of the quilt spreads quickly throughout Port Huron. Soon Sarah finds herself not only researching its history, but also helping Renee protect it from those who are desperate to get their hands on it. Sarah discovers a tale of deception and betrayal that takes her all the way back to the 1893 World's Fair.
It's a race against time―and a mysterious adversary―to find the answers Sarah and her friend seek.
My Thoughts: Cozy Mystery
If you like cozy mysteries with a dual timeline and a touch of inspiration, this one is for you.
This book is a wonderful read that kept me guessing up to the very end. The information on how facts and clues are acquired for historical pieces was so interesting and key to the story. The dual timeline also added much to solving the mystery and gave the story more depth. All of these elements make the book a great cozy mystery that all can enjoy.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an advanced copy of this book. All comments and opinions are entirely my own and voluntary.
