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.


Susan L. Tuttle has crafted a captivating series opener that promises an exciting journey.
