Natasha Blake is a professional genealogist, fueled in part by her own life: as an adopted child, she knows almost nothing of her biological parentage. From her Cotswolds cottage, where she lives with her dog, Boris, and the memories of a severed relationship, she is drawn into the work of Adam, a compelling young photographer, and his model Bethany. He's reproducing in photographs images from the paintings of the nineteenth-century Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood; Bethany is obsessed with Lizzie Siddal Rossetti of that circle, who died of a laudanum overdose. When Bethany disappears, Natasha uses the tools of her trade--birth and census records, a journal kept in Bethany's family, and endless reels of microfilm--to tease out where she might have gone and why. First-novelist Mountain captures the silken creepiness of much of the pre-Raphaelite story without quite revealing its gorgeous artistic legacy. Natasha is a mystery, too, and readers will be eager to meet her again.
