About the Book

A portrait artist whose brushstrokes reveal murder, a skeptical inspector who can’t explain what she knows, and a killer using mirrors as instruments of death — a gothic paranormal mystery set in Victorian London’s most shadowed corners, where the line between vision and madness is razor thin.

Her paintings show the truth. Someone doesn’t want it to stay on canvas.

When portrait artist Seraphine Marrow paints a murdered woman, she discovers something impossible: her art reveals her subjects’ final moments. Each brushstroke brings visions she cannot explain, and the more she paints, the harder it becomes to separate memory from madness. Desperate to keep her ability hidden, she avoids the authorities — until one painting exposes a killer who has made mirrors into weapons.

Inspector Lucien Harrow trusts evidence, not visions. But when a string of strange deaths defies all logic, he’s forced to follow the only lead that makes sense: Seraphine Marrow. Her knowledge of the victims is too precise to ignore — and too dangerous to dismiss.

As they descend into London’s hidden laboratories, Seraphine’s visions grow stronger and more demanding. The mirrors at the center of the murders are not merely surfaces — they are something far more deliberate, and each revelation pulls her closer to their grasp. With the body count rising and the line between truth and illusion blurring, Seraphine and Lucien must learn to trust each other before a killer obsessed with immortality claims them both as its next victims.

The Shadow in the Mirror is a dark, atmospheric gothic paranormal mystery set in Victorian London’s most treacherous corners — tightly plotted, relentlessly tense, and haunted by the question of how much truth a mirror can hold.

Perfect for readers who love:

– Dark, atmospheric gothic mysteries
– A gifted artist with an eye for what cannot be seen
– A skeptical inspector with a penchant for the facts
– Foggy Victorian London with streets heavy with paranormal dread
