A seaside town. A vanished woman. A portrait that refuses to stay silent.
When art restorer Clara Wren is summoned to the coastal village of Seabright Cove to restore a long-forgotten portrait, she expects cracked varnish and fading pigment-not secrets etched beneath the surface. The painting's subject, Evangeline Grey, was a glamorous socialite who disappeared thirty years earlier, leaving behind whispers, rivalries, and unanswered questions. As Clara peels back layers of paint, she uncovers a hidden code that ties Evangeline's disappearance to a web of old grudges and dangerous truths the town would rather keep buried.
With her loyal golden retriever Jasper and the enigmatic former lighthouse keeper Silas as allies, Clara is drawn deeper into Seabright Cove's shadowed past-one marked by secret rooms, coded symbols, forbidden relationships, and a powerful group determined to protect its legacy at any cost. When a modern-day murder mirrors Evangeline's fate, Clara realizes the past isn't finished claiming victims-and that restoring the portrait may expose a truth worth killing for.
Atmospheric, suspenseful, and rich with coastal mystery, The Portrait of Evangeline Grey blends art, history, and danger into a gripping whodunit where every brushstroke matters and every secret has a price.
