Alternative title, Woman in White?
SPOILERS
Whilst I did enjoy this book, and there were obvious points of difference in that this involved a painting, nonetheless the vengeful spurned lover and the series of events (I don't want to spoil it too much for others), paid more than lip service to Susan Hill's other more famous story. I found it a little predictable as a result. Also the recording must have been edited in a hurry as for the first time with an Audible book, there were repeated sections on at least two occasions that should have been edited out . Good but no cigar!

It's not bad but not thrilling
It's easy to listen to and well read. It wasn't boring but it did not scare me or grip me either and there are more engaging and interesting thriller stories like the woman in black

Intriguing
Kept in suspense although never really explained the picture's origin. All narrators were good and easy to listen to.

The Man in the Picture
A wonderful reading of the excellent book by Susan Hill. An incredible atmosphere and telling that catapults the reader to the conclusion. This story should definitely be made into a television or film version.

Another scary story from Susan Hill
You can rely on Susan Hill to deliver a story that is genuinely spooky and without resorting to crass over the top horror. This is a fantastic example and just the right length for one atmospheric sitting.

Good but not great.
Nice naration and story but not quite in the same league as Woman in Black. Worth a listen for the price.

Well written classic
A classic story well delivered, there were two moments where the editing caused a sentence to be repeated but otherwise great.

Good listen
I first read this in book form years ago and it was one of the most surreal reading experiences of my life. I honestly felt like I had seen the picture before. Not quite the same now as I now know the story but it was nice going back to it. It's not too long so could be done in one listen and is narrated well. Hills shorter ghost stories are better than her novels, in which I've noticed she has a habit of not finishing her thoughts. Harder to do this when the stories are shorter. The story is a nice little supernatural one, not scary as such but engrossing.

Sadly not one of Susan Hill’s best.
I am a great fan of Susan Hill. I enjoy her detective series and her gothic horror (particularly The Woman in Black). This book however is not up to her usual standard at all. Moreover, in some places one could be forgiven for thinking it was written by an amateur attempting to write for the first time. Let’s hope it is just a temporary blip.
