Picasso's Envy

Annabelle is the perfect daughter, about to become the perfect fiancé. But in 1969, when the world is changing, she longs for change too. Before settling into her predetermined life in Sydney, all she wants is one year of adventure. One year to learn what and who she really is. London is calling, and so is the open sea.

Leaving behind her family's wishes, Annabelle embarks on a journey that will take her from the swinging streets of London to the sun-drenched Aegean Sea. But what starts as an exhilarating adventure quickly turns dark when she meets Neill, an elusive man connected to her brother. When Neill invites her aboard a luxurious yacht owned by a mysterious, wealthy friend, Annabelle finds herself drawn into a world of glamour, intrigue, and hidden dangers.

As the yacht sails through the Aegean, Annabelle begins to question everything. Why is her Greek heritage shrouded in secrets? Why has her father never spoken about his birth island? And what is Neill really after? Surrounded by opulence, yet increasingly out of her depth, Annabelle soon realises that not everyone aboard the yacht can be trusted-and the real reason for the trip may have been planned with her in mind.

In this suspenseful psychological thriller, set against the backdrop of 1960s London and the glittering Aegean Sea, Annabelle must unravel a web of lies and deception before it's too late. Her quest for freedom may cost her more than she ever imagined.

Picasso's Envy is a gripping story of family secrets, betrayal, and the search for identity in a world where nothing is as it seems. Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train, and The Magus.
