For Faith Cromwell, trompe l'oeil artist, it is the commission of a lifetime: painting the famed ballroom of an opulent Long Island estate. But her new patron has a macabre fixation on a daughter brutally murdered in the house a decade earlierone so intense that it jeopardizes Faith's own sense of mind. And as she pieces together the details of the grisly crime scene that shadows the house, Faith slowly discovers that she herself plays the starring role in a bizarre and dangerous charade.

Sophisticated and exquisitely frightening, Trick of the Eye explores a world where evil tarnishes privilege, and nothing is what it appears to be.

From AudioFile:

Comfortable and settled, nearing age 40, artist Faith Crowell takes pleasure in enjoying a quiet, uncomplicated Manhattan lifestyle with her cat as a solitary companion. Of course, that's precisely when her life takes an unexpected new course, leading her to the assignment of a lifetime-painting interior ballroom murals for an extraordinary Long Island mansion. Anna Fields portrays Crowell as savvy and intuitive, traits that will help her when she learns of the unsolved murder a decade earlier of her benefactor's daughter within the mansion. Fields captures all the suspense of the story as Crowell explores the past just a bit too creatively. B.J.P. � AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine-- Copyright � AudioFile, Portland, Maine
