Again..... Fabulous!!!. Another amazingly written, fun story! I found myself, lost in the characters and location!! Great summer beach read!

Unforgettable. Who would ever have thought that floral theft was such a big thing! Although it does figure that anything rate is valuable. I really loved this book, the ups and downs and the twists and turns. I've grown to love all Sarah Jio's books and can't wait for the next one. Some of the parts of this story seemed so realistic to me that it just hurt to read those parts. Great ending as well.

Lackluster. In a nutshell, The Last Camellia is a mystery novel that takes place in two different settings (present day and 1940′s) but in the same location. Present day Addison’s past is catching up to her and so she convinces her husband to skip across the ocean to Livingston Manor. The manor’s key feature is its orchards, and in particular the camellias. Once there, she starts to uncover the mystery of several young women who died during the 1940′s and tries to figure it out while dealing with her own demons. Then there’s Flora, who was hired as a nanny for the Livingston children but, really, she was hired to steal a very rare camellia called the Middlebury Pink. She arrives at the manor around the time that women are disappearing and doesn’t quite know what to make of the Livingston family. The whole place is a bit depressing after the recent (and questionable) death of Lady Anna, the mistress of the estate and lover of all things flowers. At this point the book was a solid 4 stars. Naturally, there’s some love thrown in and manor living is predictable (snotty kids and gossipy servants). Most of the characters weren’t fully developed but I was able to gloss over that part, too. But then I got to the end and it plummeted. Now, I’m not one to judge a book by its ending just because I don’t like it, but I do have a problem with unfinished endings. And unfortunately, The Last Camellia left me confused and pretty irritated. Sure, I can speculate about what happened but I really have no idea. It’s not that it was complex, but rather that it seemed like the author had a page limit and rushed to stay under it. Honestly, 2 more pages would have fixed the whole problem. The worst part about this ending is that I loved the author’s other book, Violets of March. Plus, Jio has another book that’s probably good but I’m hesitant to pick it up now. The same thing happened with Lucinda Riley, who wrote one great book and one so-so book, so now I’m torn on whether to read her third. So if you’re looking for an easy read, then you may as well pick this one up and read all but the the Epilogue. Maybe then you won’t be irritated like me! Allison @ The Book Wheel

I love it!. I always look forward to Sarah's next book! As with her others, this book is very enjoyable! I highly recommend it.

Great read. Loved this story!

Exciting!. This book will keep you up late at night reading to find out what happens. It kept me on the edge of my seat and constantly had me guessing! I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves mystery novels.
