Anne West: Lovely Obsession (MYSTERY), Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

When Isabella Taylor, a rising star in the art world, receives a strange package on her doorstep-a beautifully wrapped painting with no sender and no note-she has no idea that it will set her life on a collision course with obsession and danger. The painting, a stunning portrait of a woman with haunting eyes, feels oddly familiar, yet she's certain she's never seen it before. Despite the eerie sensation it evokes, Isabella becomes inexplicably drawn to the piece, and soon, it's all she can think about. The more she stares at the painting, the more she feels connected to the woman in it, as though the woman is trying to tell her something-a message buried deep within the strokes of the brush.

But when Isabella begins to search for the painting's origin, she discovers that the portrait is tied to a string of mysterious disappearances dating back several decades. Each of the missing persons was last seen attending a private art exhibit hosted by an enigmatic figure known only as "The Collector." With every lead she follows, Isabella uncovers chilling stories of obsession, obsession that has lingered in the art world for generations. It becomes clear that the painting wasn't sent to her by accident; she has been chosen. The Collector, someone with a twisted obsession for beauty and possession, has been watching her, and now, she is part of a dangerous game-one where her every move is being carefully monitored.

As Isabella unravels the mystery, she discovers that The Collector's obsession runs deeper than anyone could have imagined. They are not only after her but after something even more valuable-the ultimate work of art, something that will solidify their legacy in the dark underworld of high society. But Isabella isn't ready to be a pawn. As the tension builds and the lines between artist and obsession blur, Isabella must confront the terrifying truth about what it means to be desired-and how far someone will go to possess beauty, no matter the cost. In Lovely Obsession, the price of passion and obsession may be more than she can afford to pay.
