When Kayla Carter's husband dies in an accident while building their dream house, she knows she has to stay strong for their four-year-old daughter. But the trophy home in Shadow Ridge Estates, a new development in sleepy Round Hill, North Carolina, will always hold tragic memories. But when she is confronted by an odd, older woman telling her not to move in, she almost agrees. It's clear this woman has some kind of connection to the area...and a connection to Kayla herself. Kayla's elderly new neighbor, Ellie Hockley, is more welcoming, but it's clear she, too, has secrets that stretch back almost fifty years. Is Ellie on a quest to right the wrongs of the past? And does the house at the end of the street hold the key? Told in dual time periods, The Last House on the Street is a novel of shocking prejudice and violence, forbidden love, the search for justice, and the tangled vines of two families.
I honestly can't even imagine not enjoying a Diane Chamberlain book, she's amazing! She is definitely a top author for me and this book is no exception! The storyline in both timelines was so engaging I didn't want to leave either one. the only thing that kept me from a 5 star review is I just didn't connect to the characters quite as much as I have in past books. I just didn't feel as emotional pulled in. But that was fine by me. The story moved fast and I wanted to know how it would all end. Keep writing Diane!
