"Making Waves" by Tricia Goyer & Cara Putman

About this book:

  “When a Congressional Medal belonging to World War II veteran Deanie Spangler goes missing at her hundredth birthday party, Priscilla is determined to find answers to the theft. Who would stoop so low to steal a keepsake from a decorated war hero? Can they recover the medal before all traces of its whereabouts dissolve? As Priscilla and Mildred scour the museum where the party was held, they begin to notice other artifacts missing. Is the thief preparing to strike again?
   Priscilla follows the clues to find a more sinister scheme in the making. Through the process of solving the mystery, she discovers a piece of the nation’s past she didn’t know existed and comes to a greater appreciation of the ordinary women and men who sacrificed so much to keep their families and friends safe—and their country free.”

My personal Rating-
While at first I wasn’t the most interested in this mystery, the middle of the story brought in about ship wreckages and possible treasure, which caught my attention. I found the book more interesting after that. ;)
There was a good amount of faith content in this book and it was nice to see new characters (that weren’t the trouble makers or thieves). :)
 
 
See y’all on Friday with a new review!
