A Predictable Happily Ever After with a Slight Historical Mystery

While serving time for a DUI conviction, Morgan Christopher is given an astounding offer. She"ll receive an early release if she can restore an old art mural in two months time by the request of the will of famous painter. When the mural is revealed, Morgan discovers that not only is it badly damaged, but also it contains bizarre imagery. Morgan's story arc proceeds in a utterly predictable fashion all the way to her happily-ever-after.

The only saving grace of Chamberlain's novel is the story of Anna Dale, the artist who painted the mural in 1940. Figuring out what happened to Anna to transform her perfectly normal mural into a horrific nightmare will keep you engaged with the novel. All in all, I would only recommend this one if you are in the mood for a predictable happily-ever-after tale where everything wraps up in a nice bow.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from St. Martin's Press through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
