The Painter's Wife - by Zoe McGarrick (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

From the moment I set foot on the grounds of Erlot Manor I felt like a swine being led innocently into a slaughterhouse. The naïve Pandora about to open chaos. I can feel something bad in the air, like poison slowly slipping into my blood. The shadows are biding their time here. The air itself felt thicker, like smoke.

Rose Blackwood faces the decisions she's made as she becomes the new Baroness to Erlot Manor, where she discovers there is a lot more to the crumbling manor house than she first thought. And a lot her new husband isn't telling her.

By the time her childhood best friend and lover Meg arrives, five years later, it appears Rose is not the same girl she once was.
