Description

What if the past was trying to teach you a lesson?

Staying alone in the shadow of an abandoned manor house in Yorkshire would be madness to some, but art enthusiast Lissy de Luca can't wait. Lissy has her reasons for seeking isolation, and she wants to study the Staithes Group an artists commune active at the turn of the twentieth century.

Lissy is fascinated by the imposing Sea Scarr Hall but the deeper she delves, the stranger things get. A lonely figure patrols the cove at night, whilst a hidden painting leads to a chilling realisation. And then there's the photograph of the girl; so beautiful she could be a mermaid ... and so familiar.

As Lissy further immerses herself, she comes to an eerie conclusion: The occupants of Sea Scarr Hall are long gone, but they have a message for her and they're going to make sure she gets it.

A Note From the Publisher

Paperback release.

Advance Praise

"Kirsty Ferry's Rossetti Mysteries have gained something of a cult following among readers with a penchant for cut-above romance tinged with history, art and a soupcon of the supernatural. It's not difficult to see why - often deeply affecting and always deliciously heavy on the escapism, Ferry's dual-time novels are an irresistible prospect. The latest addition to the series, The Girl in the Photograph, is no exception." - Ophelia Sings, Amazon Reader

"There’s a little bit of everything here. First it’s spooky and dramatic. There’s history too wrapped around a forbidden love affair. In the present, gorgeous Italian photographer Stef has returned to try and make amends for his foolishness nearly eight years ago; something that cost him Issy. But he knows she will need a lot of persuasion before she trusts him again. Set on the Yorkshire coast it’s a lovely read which has me definitely on the trail of books one and two!" - Jo Lambert, Reader and Reviewer

"Kirsty Ferry just goes from strength to strength! This book was fascinating from two points of view. The interweaving time slip story was really well crafted and the research Kirsty has done on the early photographers and artists' groups was really interesting. In fact there was a BBC4 programme about early photography and Kirsty and kindled an interest so I watched it and learned even more!" - Ann Cooper, Annie's Book Corner, Blogger and Reviewer
