The Girl Beneath the Paint

When art conservator Iris Vale uncovers a second girl beneath the paint of a century-old family portrait, she finds a face her family has spent generations erasing. Back at the decaying country house before its sale, Iris follows altered dates, hidden letters, and a modern disappearance into a history no one wants restored. The more of the portrait she reveals, the less she can trust the family story she grew up with. The Girl Beneath the Paint is a standalone gothic mystery about art, inheritance, and the cost of keeping a secret beautifully framed.
