Acerca de esta escucha
The death of a legendary actress reveals a wealth of Hollywood secrets in a breathtaking novel about betrayal, rivalry, and the punishing brutality of fame.
One of the brightest stars of Hollywood’s golden age was Lily Adams, the beloved picture of all-American innocence. Why she suddenly vanished from the spotlight was a mystery even to those closest to her.
Upon Lily’s death seventy years later, her granddaughter, Carolyn Prior, struggles to understand a woman she loved but never really knew. Then, sifting through the memorabilia of a once-glamorous career, Carolyn comes across a letter from her grandmother. It’s the trembling admission of a secret life and a story that begins and ends with superstar Stella Lane, Lily’s archrival of the silver screen—a bombshell who was brutally murdered.
As Carolyn unearths her grandmother’s connection to the notorious unsolved slaying, her life collides with Lily’s in the most shocking ways. And with each stunning new revelation, Carolyn must decide how much she is willing to risk to unlock the truth.

Hollywood, 1955. As head costume designer for Lux Pictures, Lena Taylor hears startling confessions from the biggest movie stars. She knows how to keep their secrets—after all, none of their scandals can match her own. Lena was once Elsie Gruner, the daughter of an Ohio dressmaker. Her gift for fashion design helped her win a coveted spot at an art academy in Rome. While in Italy, she became enthralled by the charismatic Julia, who drew her into a shadowy world of jazz clubs, code words, and mysterious deliveries.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Historical mystery set around Hollywood’s Golden Age!
The Last Secret of Lily Adams is a recently released historical fiction mystery! I saw this one available on KU read and listen (you get the audiobook if you download the ebook) and I instantly grabbed it. It’s told in dual timeline with present day and a tale from Hollywood’s Golden Age! I really enjoyed this one and can’t wait to see what else the author releases as this was their debut.
In present day we are following Carolyn and her teenage daughter. Recently divorced, Carolyn and her daughter are in California to clear out her beloved grandmother’s home. Her grandmother was Lily Adams, one of Hollywood’s Golden Age darlings. Lily left clear instructions in her will that there was to be no funeral and any item of historical value in her home be donated to the Golden Age Museum for an exhibit about her life. Carolyn finds her grandmother’s diary and a letter with it about a secret she kept for years and has to finally share,“My story begins and ends with Stella Lane.” Carolyn is shocked since Stella Lane was another famous actress of the Golden Age who was brutally murdered, and she had no idea her grandmother even knew her…
In the other chapters, we go back in time and follow Lily Adams’ life and career. She started out working as a lowly employee in the costume department of a movie studio, always dreaming she’d one day grace the screens. And then seeing that come to be and the complicated relationships that came with that life!
I really enjoyed this one! It was fast-paced and kept me intrigued. And of course coming with the audio for being on KU read and listen was definitely a win. I’m excited now to see what else this author writes.
