Robbie is a kind and loving boyfriend. As long as you obey the rules.

Seline is excited to be starting a new chapter. She has moved away from home to begin her first job—as school art teacher in a quaint Yorkshire village.

Life gets even better when she meets the wild and untamed Robbie, with whom she starts a relationship. Robbie is unpredictable and impulsive and Seline loves the excitement he injects into her well-ordered days.

But Robbie soon reveals a dark side. He becomes more and more domineering and Seline finds herself trapped with a man who needs to control her every waking moment.

Her only escape is through her artwork. But even there, in the shadowy corners of her own paintings, lurks a disturbing truth she cannot decipher.

Desperate to escape from Robbie, Seline turns to an old family friend, Michael, for help. But Michael has secrets of his own, secrets that entwine with Seline's past in shocking and sinister ways . . .

The Girl in the Painting—the gripping psychological thriller perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Daniel Hurst, and Kiersten Modglin.

I think, unlike this authors other books, I simply couldn’t get into this one and that is because it’s narrated on the third person. This means perpetual repetition of names. Changing ‘and Celine did this and that’ to ‘I did, I felt, I knew’ would have allowed some immersion into the story. Felt rushed and it meant I couldn’t empathise in any way with the characters.
