The Portrait by Antoine Laurain
3.0
Antoine Laurain is an author I've been wanting to read more from for a few years now. I read and enjoyed The Red Notebook and then struggled and ultimately put down The President's Hat, therefore I've wanted to give something else a go.
Unfortunately this was mixed for me. The attitude and actions taken towards women in this are uncomfortable and outdated. I also found the ending to not be satisfying. However, there were aspects of this that I thoroughly enjoyed.
I really liked the eerie quality that this book has and the way that the mystery kept getting deeper.
Overall I enjoyed this novella but it may have benefitted from being a bit longer.
