Resumen del Editor

Set in three time periods - the rapid change of Victorian England, the peak of England’s home-front tensions at the end of WWII, and the modern day - The Painted Castle unlocks secrets lost for generations just waiting to be found.

A lost painting of Queen Victoria. A library bricked off from the world. And three women, separated by time, whose lives are irrevocably changed.

In Victorian England, talented sketch artist Elizabeth Meade is engaged to Viscount Huxley, owner of Parham Hill. However, Elizabeth’s real motive for being at Parham Hill has nothing to do with art or marriage. She’s determined to avenge her father’s brutal murder - even if it means a betrothal to the very man she believes committed the crime.

A century later, Amelia Woods - a World War II widow who has turned Parham Hill and its beloved library into a boarding school for refugee children - receives military orders to house a troop of American pilots. She is determined the children in her care will remain untouched by the war, but the task is proving difficult with officers taking up every square inch of their world...and one in particular vying for a space in Amelia’s long-shut up heart.

When art historian Keira Foley is hired to authenticate a painting, she hopes this is just the thing to get her career and life back on track. But from the time she arrives at Parham Hill Estate and begins working alongside rumored art thief Emory Scott, she’s left with far more questions than answers. Could this lost painting of Queen Victoria be a duplicate of the original Winterhalter masterpiece, and if so, who is the artist?

Praise for The Painted Castle:

"A gripping tale of secrets hidden behind the walls of an ancient English castle." (Kate Breslin, best-selling author of Far Side of the Sea)

A sweet historical split-time romance.

The third and final audiobook in the Lost Castle series. Audiobooks do not have to be listened to in order.

Full-length novel with three women each finding her own happily ever after.

Wish it hadn’t ended

I love this book as much as I love the first two. Excellent work weaving present day with different historical periods. I really enjoyed this entire trilogy and the narrator did a great job as well.

Best read

This book was written and spoken beautifully! I recommend this book to any age group! My 13 year old daughter listened with me and then requested I not continue listing to it without her! And that says allot! She isn’t into reading or listening to books but she wouldn’t walk away from this series

Loved the entire series.

Truly hated to have this series come to a close. Loved every word. Thank you.

Gonna need more novels

I liked the Era and the characters. Good storyline. Narration was good. I read them all back to back.
I really love time period pieces.

loved these characters

Better story than second book. Was able to get into the characters in this story much btr then last. Enjoyed it very much.

A great end to a great trilogy

I really loved these books. In this particular book, the World War II storyline is the only one that didn’t feel a little rushed, but they’re still so uplifting to read. The author often struggled to make her Irish accent sound authentic and it didn’t work that well, but those are three only criticisms I have.

The best of the three

This book was my favorite in the series. Again, I enjoy the historical connections and references. Like the second, this book was so much easier to follow than the first (the events, of the three characters, go in chronological order).

Good Mystery But a Little Confusing

I Really liked this book except for the fact that the 1843 Mystery was a little confusing and left you wondering
just what was the reason for the mother hiding facts from her daughter for 10 years
I liked the WW@ story and the Modern angle but fell the tie ins were a little weak.
Good narration.

Favorite of the 3

I really enjoyed the mysteries in the 3rd book. It kept me excited to hear the next part of each character’s story.

love this entire series

I love the Castle series and the split time romances in general. These Castle books are all wonderfully and masterfully written.
