The Girl in the Picture Alexandra Monir Books

As with all of Alexandra Monir’s stories, I could not put down this book about a young girl, a talented violinist, who is accused of murdering the man she loves. The author masterfully crafts the narrative with alternating points of view allowing us to truly get to know the two main characters and what makes them do the things they do. Although we are sure of Nicole’s innocence, we are kept guessing with the slow unfolding of minor clues up to the surprising and very unexpected ending. I love the story, the characters and the references to music!

The Girl in the Picture Alexandra Monir Books Reviews

It's very intriguing i give it that but it's kinda like law and order svu or law and order in general the first three people we meet or lana nicole and brianne and of course it's brianne
AWSOME BOOK! Its a intriguing from start to finish and to figure out more you will just have to read it......
I finshed this book in three days because I was sick and that was in mid September. It is now early November and I'm still thinking about it! You really get punched in the face by the ending but it ties all loose ends together and leaves you satisfied.
I finished this book in a week it really gets you interested
a very fun read. tore through this book in two days. exciting, fun and kept me guessing till the end.
I first heard about Alexandra Monir's The Girl in the Picture on Facebook. I liked the cover and the blurb and I thought I'd give it a try. I'm a sucker for murder mysteries set on school campuses, my favourite of these being Red Leaves by Paullina Simons, and so far it's still my favourite.

Like Red Leaves, The Girl in the Picture revolves around the death of a popular student and a forbidden relationship. While Red Leaves takes place on a college campus, The Girl in the Picture is set on a prep school campus. In the case of The Girl in the Picture, the murder of Chace Porter is what sets the story in motion. Chace is the son of a powerful congressman; his girlfriend Lana is the daughter of an equally powerful congresswoman. On paper, they're perfect together. But Chace is in love with someone else--Lana's roommate, violin virtuoso Nicole. In the aftermath of Chace's death, secrets are revealed, including his secret relationship with Nicole, which inevitably makes her a prime suspect in his murder.

The reason that I am giving The Girl in the Picture three stars is that I found the ending a little disappointing. While I liked the twist of who the actual murderer was, I felt like the way we found out could have been tighter, more thrilling. Also, after the build-up of the secret relationship between Chace and Nicole, I expected a little more insight to it, and it seemed like they actually didn't spend much time together. Perhaps if the book had been a bit longer this would have felt more satisfying.

Even though I wasn't a huge fan of the ending, I can say that I really liked the contrast of the characters and how well they were portrayed in the book. Monir does a great job of capturing the intensity and the angst of being a teenager, of being on the cusp of adulthood and seeing a future you think is certain without realising that life is never so simple. I especially loved the scenes describing how Nicole felt when she played her violin and the passion she felt for the music and the scenes when she and Chace are getting to know one another on the train.

So all and all, I liked The Girl in the Picture, but the ending wasn't really for me. Still, I would definitely recommend this story because it is addictive and a real page-turner.
The way the author switches back and forth between point of view and time makes the mystery and romance of this story wonderfully compelling. In one chapter we get the point of view of the jilted lover from the past, and in the next chapter, we get the point of view of the new love interest in the present. And we switch back and forth as we unravel the mystery of the murder and the beginnings of the romance. And then just when the reader gets to a climatic point in the story, the author switches up the point of view to the other character, and the mystery and the romance continue to delight the reader even more. I loved this story.
