Pictures of Him

By: Clare Leslie Hall

Narrated by: Nathalie Buscombe, Max Dowler

From the author of Broken Country, a dark and suspenseful thriller about the consequences of one woman’s doomed love affair which, years later, threatens to tear her seemingly-perfectly world apart.

Catherine lives an enviably normal life with her loving husband, Sam, and their two children. But many parts of her past are shrouded in mystery…and that’s the way she likes it. Keeping the past buried keeps her safe. When a former flame resurfaces, something inside of Catherine gives way, releasing a flood of trauma she had thought was buried long ago.

Lying in the hospital after a complete breakdown, language eludes Catherine. The shock of her painful past has left her mute, unable to explain to Sam or her children the root of her anguish. As Catherine’s fragmented memories of her university days sharpen, the threads of her past and present start to coalesce. Catherine is transported back in time to her love affair with Lucian, a charismatic and complicated artist, with whom she shared a passion that was destined to end in tragedy.

Fifteen years after the fateful end of their romance, Catherine must finally confront the events that brought her to crisis, while the fragile pieces of her life, so delicately balanced, begin to shift—and threaten to shatter.

Love her prose

A riveting novel that captured my interest at every turn. Bravo for another wonderful book!

How much I wanted to know what happened next.

For anyone who has lost love, this book will make you feel understood. I loved this book.

Fantastic story telling!

I enjoyed the telling of Katheryn’s love story and the crossing of time. I had a hard time putting this book down.

Love this author and the narrators!!

The story and the performance are excellent. I listened to Broken Country and had to listen to another by this author. It didn’t disappoint! Hoping there are many more books to come from my new favorite author!

Great reader!

A great book to listen to. Enjoyed the Vivid descriptions and story line. Recommend it.

Love this author!

Great story telling and vivid descriptions make this a must read! Narrators were also fantastic!

Beautifully constructed and written

I found this book mesmerizing. Every sentence was beautiful. I loved the characters. Listened to some parts twice. Chapter headings made sense, but easy to lose one’s place.

the characters

I think the female and male voices. When you listen you could feel their passion for each other.

No one writes relationships better!

A slow agonizing and satisfying burn. I read Broken Country first and had to read every other word she has written. I hope a new book is coming soon, hooked!
