Painting the Darkness by Robert Goddard
4.0
A member of the English aristocracy apparently returns from the dead, but members of his own family don't recognise him. Sir James Davenell disappeared mysteriously 11 years before, and left a suicide notes, so it was assumed that he had killed himself. Failing to convince his family, he tries to persuade his former fiancee Constance, who is, however now married to William Trenchard.
As with many of Goddard's novels there is a mystery of the past that comes to back to affect the present of the characters. I first read it 28 years ago, and by the time I came to read it a second time I had forgotten most of the plot, so it was like reading it for the first time.
