"Matt Drabble is a name that will one day be as widely
recognized as Stephen King & Dean Koontz" - READERS FAVORITE
From the award winning and best selling author of
"Gated" & "Asylum" comes "The Montague
Portrait"
Hugo Montague was a man of boundless cruelty that lived on
beyond his mortal days. The portrait that he commissioned has hung on many
walls, but has always overseen tragedy and murder. The painting was long thought destroyed in a fire, but now
there are those desperate to find the portrait if it still exists.
Travis Parker was an insurance investigator, but now he is a
widower trapped within his own pain and broken promises. When he is approached
by the mysterious Telfer Vargas to track down the portrait he reluctantly
agrees to one last case.
Charlotte Goode has a long personal history with the
painting and will let nothing stand in her way to avenge her family.
The race across Europe to find the painting soon becomes
littered with death as dark supernatural forces converge and threaten to
consume those foolish enough to look.
My Review
It’s no secret that I am a fan of Matt Drabble’s books. His
stories take me back to being a child and discovering my love for horror movies
– from the cheesy to the terrifying, I wanted it all. And now as a grown-up, Matt
is feeding my need for horror through the written word.
I love the concept behind his latest novel, The Montague
Portrait. A haunted painting that is tormenting different families over many
decades. Once again, I was impressed with the rich background of each character
in this suspenseful plot, never taking away, but always adding to the excitement.
An unlikely duo, Travis Parker and Charlotte Goode find themselves
matched up (whether they like it our not) to find this evil painting and stop
it from ruining any more lives. They find allies along the way, but sadly for them,
the darkness is just one step behind. What is this darkness, well, you’ll have
to read the book to find out!
