Trompe l’Oeil In The Press

What Bloggers Say

  • Silver’s Reviews

    From Elizabeth Silver

    Hidden tunnels, a castle, Paris, a mystery, deceit, and a questionable inheritance. Rachel Farraday was the lucky one to be chosen by Madame de Villier to assist in researching the history of her chateau and also in a surprise that may have or may not have been planned and a surprise that turned out to not be a good one. The fun began along with mystery and tragedy not too long after Rachel arrived.

    The book was part history, part mystery, and just plain good old European living. All the things I enjoy reading about.

  • I would recommend TROMPE’ L’OEIL to anyone

    Jacob Donley Reviews

    …

    Caroline Miller has produced a work with characters that draw you into the work. Also, she keeps you guessing about what is REALLY going on at the chateau. Though this type of work isn’t my normal type of read, I enjoyed it from cover to cover. I would recommend TROMPE’ L’OEIL to anyone that enjoys a good character driven mystery.

    From Julie’s Reviews

     Many times in life things are not what they appear. And sometimes people are thrown into situations so complicated that it’s difficult to know who to trust.

    …

    The author, Caroline Miller, weaves this story in such a way that drew me in from the very beginning. Although this is a stand alone novel, this book could easily be made into a trilogy. I would highly recommend her novel to anyone that is a fan of suspense and intrigue.

What Critics Say

  • Alan Caruba

    Another page-turner is Trompe L’Oeil (To Fool the Eye) by Caroline Miller  whose previous novel, “Gothic Spring”, was recommended by yours truly. When a young college student, Rachel Farraday, gets an assignment in the French countryside to chronicle the story of a chateau during height of the French-Algerian war, she discovers his dark history of murder and, when her employer dies suddenly, she also learns that she has become the co-inheritor of the chateau with a likely insane young man. The inheritance threatens her life and I guarantee that you will want to read it through in one sitting.

    • SOUTHEAST EXAMINER

      Suspense builds as the reader tries to decipher what is real and what is illusion. Ms. Miller’s knowledge of literature and poetry is cleverly interjected into the story giving the book traces of more classical literature.

    What Readers Say

    • COULD HARDLY PUT IT DOWN…

      read it in 2 days, could hardly put it down.

      Mark Fivecoat

    • THE READER CAN ONLY TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND ADMIRE…

      When on the final page of Trompe l’Oeil all is revealed, the reader can only take a deep breath and admire the consistent and high level of mental energy sustaining this complex and emotion-stirring narrative … Our friend Hesse would have approved, but so will lesser mortals, because the average reader will find the writing much more transparent and engaging than his … Trompe l’Oeil has the added virtue of being narrated from a woman’s point of view — perhaps an unintended, but nonetheless powerful corrective to Hesse’s male-dominated fantasies of soul in relation to mind, art and its uneasy coexistence with reality, nature/nurture and many similar mysteries …

      – Pete

    • AN ARTFUL CREATION OF GOTHIC SUSPENSE

      Caroline Miller’s Trompe L’Oeil: To Fool the Eye is an artful creation of Gothic suspense. You are ensnared on the first page, compelled to walk the chateau’s dark hallways beside heroine Rachel Farraday until you both discover the story’s surprising end. In Trompe l’Oeil Miller’s elegant prose once again displays a deft mastery of every gothic element. Atmosphere, suspense, mystery, fear, and the supernatural combine perfectly to create a world of unrelenting unease. Be prepared to get lost in it.

      Susan Stoner, author of Sage Adair Historical Mystery Series

    • SHE HAS CAPTIVATED THE IMAGINITION

      Caroline Miller has done it again! She has captivated the imagination with her engaging storyline and exquisitively developed characters. And then she blows the mind with a surprise ending! All of her books are worth reading and passing on to friends. I eagerly await her next creation.
