The Betrayal of Cora Wexford by Bethany Joy Lenz

Format & Condition: Hardback, New

Genre: Historical Fiction; Mysteries & Thrillers

In Victorian London, American artist Cora Wexford earns her living painting portraits of the dead while keeping her own past hidden. A commission to honor women whose deaths have been overlooked coincides with the Jack the Ripper murders, even as Cora’s relationship with a charming stranger becomes increasingly unsettling.

From the bestselling author of Dinner for Vampires and One Tree Hill actress Bethany Joy Lenz, this psychological suspense novel earned praise from Publishers Weekly for its appeal to historical-fiction readers. I recommend it for its atmospheric setting, unusual artistic premise, and exploration of manipulation and women’s vulnerability in a society that refuses to listen.
