Thanks to NetGalley for this free ARC (publication date: October 20, 2020) of this southern gothic thriller.
This honest book review is my own.
This was a really cool, really different, really unique book. The book description does a great job setting the stage: "Dove Jarrod was a renowned evangelist and faith healer. Only her granddaughter, Eve Candler, knows that Dove was a con artist." But was Dove a murderer?
This book takes us on a twisted path from Dove escaping the psychiatric hospital where she was born, to forming the Hawthorn Sisters (her first steps into the faith healing world), and her marriage to Charles Jarrod - leader in the evangelist world, to her modern-day family and all of the many connections.
Flipping back and forth between Tuscaloosa 1934 and present-day world where Eve is helping make a documentary about Dove happen (while trying to uncover Dove's web of lies and possible murderous past) - this is such an amazing ride into this family legacy - with a little bit of supernatural tossed in.
I loved this book, and highly recommend it!
