Waiting On Wednesday (79)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Title: The Last Camellia

Author: Sarah Jio

Expected Publication Date: May 28, 2013

Synopsis:

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?

Isn't this cover stunning? I think so. Sarah Jio is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I have read all three of her previous books and loved each one. She has a gift for storytelling and I will read anything and everything she releases. I'm not one for historical fiction, but the way Sarah blends past and present together is brilliant. I can't wait for this to be released, I'll be rushing out to get it. Have you read any of Sarah's books? I highly recommend them!
