Reviving the Hawthorn Sisters by Emily Carpenter

4.0

This book was an excellent blend of mystery, suspense, and drama. Several times it made me stop and think about how many stories our parents and other elders must have about their lives, that we've never heard. Told in a dual timeline, this book follows the stories of Dove Jarrod, a renowned faith healer and her granddaughter Eve Candler, who is the only one in her family who knows the truth - that Dove was a con artist. Rumors have abounded for years that Dove also may have been in possession of a valuable old coin, possibly by illegal means, but it has never been found. As Eve tries to learn the truth about her grandmother and the location of the missing coin, she must be wary of others who will stop at nothing to hide the truth or find the coin for themselves. Reading this took me back to the days when I loved Nancy Drew mysteries as a young girl.
