The Last House on the Street by Diane Chamberlain is a dual-timeline novel. We meet Ellie a twenty-year old woman who signs up for the SCOPE project. Kayla in 2010 is a recent widow with a young daughter. Her husband died before their dream home was completed. It is the only house in a new development and Kayla is warned away. Just outside the development is a home that has been there for three generations and the dying owner refuses to sell. After Kayla moves into her new home, she meets Ellie Hockley who grew up in the old home and they become friends. Kayla can tell, though, that Ellie has secrets. Something happened in this area almost fifty years ago. Is it time for the secret to come to light? The Last House on the Street contains good writing, but I thought the pacing was slow. As I kept reading, I was wondering if the book would ever get moving. I enjoyed Ellie's story more than Kayla's. Ellie's story tells of the bigotry, violence, and hatred that was prevalent in the south during this time. There was a great deal of unrest in the south. It was interesting learning about the SCOPE project. Ellie's character was significantly more developed than Kayla's. For most of the book, Kayla is unnecessary. Her character lacked emotion and depth. As I read, I could soon see how everything tied together and how the story would play out. I wish the storyline had not been so obvious. I had trouble getting through the first two thirds of the book because of the slow pacing and there was little action up to this point. The ending nicely wrapped up the story. This was not my favorite Diane Chamberlain story. It was not the same caliber as her last novel. The Last House on the Street is an emotional and dramatic story that will take you back to 1965 in North Carolina.
