Intoxicating, enthralling, compelling Harriet Tyce

Bold and ambitious and consuming from start to finish Louise Candlish

A stunning, intricately plotted and clever mystery Claire Douglas

Think The Secret History meets Saltburn Holly Watt

Some women can't be erased from history...

A story of love and madness, of obsession and revenge.

Paris, 1938: Runaway heiress Juliette Willoughby perishes, with her married lover, in an accidental studio fire alongside her Surrealist masterpiece, Self-Portrait as Sphinx.

Cambridge, 1991: Two art history students stumble across proof that something sinister was at play in Juliette's death, threatening to expose the long-buried secrets of the artist's aristocratic family.

Dubai, now: An art dealer is accused of the brutal murder of his oldest friend - the last surviving member of the Willoughby dynasty.

Three suspicious deaths over the course of a century.

Is the key to unlocking them all hidden in Juliette Willoughby's lost painting?

From the author of The Club, a Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick, The Final Act of Juliette Willoughby is Ellery Lloyd's compulsive multiple-timeline mystery - a story of love and madness, of obsession and revenge.

A clever, richly imagined, first-class mystery. A story both thrilling and deeply layered, touching and fun. I loved it. Chris Whitaker

A whip smart page turner with twists and turns that'll keep a hold on you right up until the final, gripping denouement. A terrific, hands down, five star read. John Marrs

A big complex thriller about art, family secrets and dark academia and is hugely entertaining and fun. Fans of The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair will love it. Mark Edwards
