The Painted Lady Kindle Edition

by Joseph Falank (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 3
See all formats and editions
Miles Greene once spent his days creating beautiful works of cinematic art, all the while treasuring the deepening love for his wife, Stephanie. Currently his days are filled with the mundane as Miles, a recent widow, hides away in his ground-floor apartment, leaving his once-successful art career—and his drive to carry on—to complete indifference. With the sudden appearance of a mysterious woman in his building, Miles quickly realizes he is no longer in control of his destiny as forces beyond his control begin to influence his future. The path that unfolds in front of Miles may offer redemption at its end, but it promises a confrontation with the past, as well as coming to terms with the demon hiding within Miles and the burden of guilt he has carried all these years.

Kathryn Mattingly
5.0 out of 5 stars Pulls at your heartstrings...
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2015
The Painted Lady is an emotionally haunting tale that beautifully builds suspense. You won’t be disappointed in this slow burning read that pulls at your heartstrings. Falank’s widower-protagonist is an achingly good man who experiences a horrific personal setback when his wife is murdered. As if the plot alone wasn’t enough to pull you into the fascinating tale, Joseph writes in a style that puts you right there in every scene with our grief-stricken widower. The thoughts and feelings of our hero, Miles, who is a sensitive, highly creative artist, will be equally felt by you, the reader. It creates volumes of empathy and builds a deep desire to buffer him from the harsh realities slowly unraveling. By the end, you’ll wish Miles were a neighbor you could chat with over a bottle of Sangiovese on a sultry Saturday night.

4.0 out of 5 stars Messages from the muse.
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2016
This gothic-scented tale of grief in the aftermath of tragedy will keep you guessing until the end where the lines are drawn between reality, medication, and the supernatural intervention of an artist's muse. The suspense never overrides the genuine emotion and vivid depiction of loss and the process of healing, but it will make you reluctant to put the book down until you've finished. I look forward to the next Joseph Falank novel.
