Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Some family secrets are buried in silence. Some are painted over.After exposing the truth about a stolen painting, Evelyn Bellamy loses the museum career she built her life around. Disgraced, guarded, and newly uncertain of her own instincts, she retreats into quieter work: restoring old objects, reading the damage people leave behind, and pretending the past can stay exactly where she put it.Then her estranged grandmother dies.Rose Bellamy leaves Evelyn a crumbling mansion above the river, a ruined estate wrapped in rumors, and one locked room Evelyn swore she would never enter again.Inside the sealed Blue Room hangs a portrait someone tried very hard to erase.Beneath layers of overpaint, Evelyn uncovers the face of Lydia Ashcroft, a vanished heiress whose powerful family spent fifty years turning her life into a silence. But the portrait is only the beginning. Hidden inside the walls of Bellamy House, Rose left behind an archive of lost objects, coded records, and buried promises that some people are still willing to kill to protect.As Evelyn follows the trail from a forbidden love affair in 1968 to a present-day legal claim that could cost her the house, she begins to understand that Bellamy House was never just an inheritance.It was a warning.And the closer Evelyn comes to restoring Lydia's truth, the more her own past begins to crack open.The Portrait in the Blue Room is a luminous, atmospheric mystery about erased women, inherited lies, forbidden love, and the dangerous work of bringing buried truths back into the light.…
