Sarah Jio's Books are so Refreshing

Last week I finished Sarah Jio’s latest release The Last Camellia. She has such an amazing way of grasping your attention and pulling you in from the very first page. Her books are a perfect blend of mystery, drama, and romance. I love the way that she weaves history in with the present to craft together intriguing stories that will leave you breathless in the end. This is one of those books that you want to sit outside in the early mornings and late evenings to enjoy with a nice cup of coffee.
In The Last Camellia, Addison attempts to run from her past by moving to England with her husband for the summer. Their stay there is spent in a country manor that his parents have bought. While there they discover that the manor holds a mysterious past of its own that Addison is determined to piece together. Only the maid isn’t as forthcoming with any details as she would like which leaves Addison to her own disposal. In the midst of unveiling the lives of past occupants, she realizes that her past has followed her to England. Forced to come clean about her own past, she manages to shed light to what happened all those years ago. In the end, the closure that is finally brought to the surviving family members that once occupied the manor will leave a smile on your face after turning the last page.
I highly recommend Sarah Jio’s books to anybody that loves a good mystery that will keep them so intrigued that they can’t stop turning the pages until there are no more left. I anticipate the release dates for all of her books because I know that I’m guaranteed an enthralling adventure through the lives of her characters. I seriously do not think that it’s possible for her to write a book that is anything less than breathtaking.
The Goodreads Description:
A romantic and suspenseful tale about two women whose destiny is bound across the years
On the eve of World War II, the last surviving specimen of a camellia plant known as the Middlebury Pink lies secreted away on an English country estate. Flora, an amateur American botanist, is contracted by an international ring of flower thieves to infiltrate the household and acquire the coveted bloom. Her search is at once brightened by new love and threatened by her discovery of a series of ghastly crimes.
More than half a century later, garden designer Addison takes up residence at the manor, now owned by the family of her husband, Rex. The couple’s shared passion for mysteries is fueled by the enchanting camellia orchard and an old gardener’s notebook. Yet its pages hint at dark acts ingeniously concealed. If the danger that Flora once faced remains very much alive, will Addison share her fate?
