Embroidering the Truth (Gift Shop Mysteries, #3) by Elizabeth Penney


 Sarah Morgan’s latest mystery arrives at Heavenly Treasures along with her old friend Renee Torres, who brings a stunning quilt that belonged to her recently deceased great-aunt. Together, they realize that this Baltimore album quilt includes pieces from a famous nineteenth-century artist named Emily Deveau—meaning the value of the piece just skyrocketed! What was such a precious item doing in Renee’s family home?

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 Review


 

I really enjoyed this read, and how they go about getting the answers.
Have some old quilts in my home, and some new ones I've made, so this one really piqued my interest.
This is the third book in this series, and the first that I have read, it can be read alone!
The story revolves around an old quilt with beautiful appliques, and then the mystery begins.
The story along with some danger, does revolve around this quilt, but highlights some of the past centuries taking women for granted, and some men who claim their work as their own.
A very enlightening read, filled with love and being there for one another, but their is also some danger!
I'll be looking for more by this author!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Guideposts, and was not required to give a positive review.
