3.0
mysterious medium-paced

Thank you Lake Union Publishing and NetGalley for the eARC of The Last Secret of Lily Adams!  All opinions in this review are my own.

Usually I like dual timeline historical fiction story, but for The Last Secret of Lily Adams I wish it didn't switch as often and just stayed in the past.  In the present, Carolyn is cleaning out her grandmother's, Lily Adams, house and although the ending makes it clear why the dual timeline is necessary, Carolyn's storyline just doesn't reveal as much as the past one.  There are some clues that are revealed to help Carolyn devel deeper into her grandmother's past, but most of the mystery is revealed during Lily's timeline.  

Through Lily's timeline, the author proves that she can write a captivating story and I am excited to read her next one!
