Painted

Formats: E-Book, Audio, Paperback

If art can capture a soul, what happens when one of those souls escapes?

People have been going missing from the home of reclusive artist Leo Kubin for decades, but no one told art appraiser Anita Cassatt, or her team.

When they start cataloguing Kubin's extensive collection of portraits and antiques, after his death, they don't expect to find an unfinished portrait on an easel with the paint still wet. An unfinished portrait which looks eerily familiar.

Kubin’s lawyer didn’t share the detailed instructions regarding the handling of the portraits, and Anita and her team start work in ignorance of the very instructions designed to keep them safe... safe from the art.

Reviews

Painted is an effective haunted house book, favoring tension and subtlety over outright violence and kills. As such, this may appeal to a broader audience, both in terms of age and those who are not fans of overt gore. The truth behind the haunting is slowly revealed, along with how it ties into the many paintings in the house. In Painted, we see that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and in this case the eyes are on canvas.
