Trompe l'Oeil: (To Fool the Eye)

by Caroline Miller

Overview

American scholar Rachel Farraday accepts a position researching a decaying chateau in France during the height of the French/Algerian war.

A sudden death makes Rachel a surprise co-inheritor of the chateau with an attractive, possibly insane young man. Intrigue follows and now Rachel's life is threatened. "Trompe l'Oeil" is another exquisitely crafted tale of suspense: a lovely setting, harrowing situations, paranormal overtones and every ending a sinister surprise.

Editorial Reviews

Ms. Miller is a powerful and elegant writer. (Silver Reviews)

…expect the unexpected. (Good Reads)

Ms. Miller’s knowledge of literature, art and poetry is cleverly interjected into the story giving the book traces of more classical literature. (S.E. Examiner, Portland, Oregon.)

Miller’s Trompe l’Oeil: To Fool the Eye is an artful creation of Gothic suspense. You are ensnared on the first page, compelled to walk the chateau's dark hallways beside heroine Rachel Farraday until you both discover the story’s surprising end. In Tompe L’Oeil Miller’s elegant prose once again displays a deft mastery of every gothic element. Atmosphere, suspense, mystery, fear, and the supernatural combine perfectly to create a world of unrelenting unease. Be prepared to get lost in it. (Susan Stoner, author of the Sage Adair historical mystery series.)
