Publisher's summary

“Read this in about two sittings—absolutely loved it. Dazzlingly clever and beautifully twisty. Don’t miss it!!”—Emilia Hart, author of Weyward

The gripping follow up to the “smart, stylish, and savage” (People) New York Times bestseller and Reese’s Book Club pick The Club—a twisty mystery involving a cursed wealthy family and a Surrealist painting which holds the key to three suspicious deaths over the course of a century.

Some women won't be painted out of history . . .

Everybody knows that in 1938, runaway heiress artist Juliette Willoughby perished in an accidental studio fire in Paris, alongside her masterpiece Self Portrait As Sphinx.

Fifty years later, two Cambridge art history students are confounded when they stumble across proof that the fire was no accident but something more sinister. What they uncover threatens the very foundation of Juliette’s aristocratic family and revives rumors of the infamous curse that has haunted the Willoughbys for generations.

But what does their discovery mean? And how is it connected to a brutal murder in present-day Dubai?

A tale of love and madness, obsession and revenge, The Final Act of Juliette Willoughby unravels the riddle posed by a Sphinx who refuses to reveal her secrets . . .

Great mystery

Loved this book and the performance was excellent, a joy to listen to and a well written mystery that unfolded neatly with all the other interesting themes of art, Egypt, British country houses and international travel. Very entertaining.

Best of 2024

I cannot stress what an amazing story this was. This book is truly extraordinary, featuring flawless execution across different timelines. It explores various themes through well-developed characters. Historical fiction is blended with a family of generations filled with lies, and secrets. It is the story of a woman artist fighting to survive and leave her mark on the world.

Art History, Suspense, Feminism & English Peerage Meet


Lots of twists and turns and interesting settings: London, Paris and Abu Dhabi.
A glimpse into the surrealists in Paris and how tough it is to maintain large, old inherited properties in Britain, the strength of the friendships you form in college, etc.

Surprising to the end

Was a bit slow at first but the twists and turns to come are worth it. Not entirely predictable which I always enjoy.
