The Portrait / Antoine Laurain read by Philip Franks, 128 pgs.
Pierre-Francois is a barrister and serious collector of mostly antique objects that he clearly loves more than say, his wife. He comes upon a portrait that looks exactly like him but is stunned to find his wife and friends don't see a resemblance. While researching his new favorite item, he finds himself in a predicament as locals think he is the missing le Comte de Mandragor whose ancestor is featured on the portrait. Should he take advantage begin anew? Philip Franks does a remarkable job of convincing us that Pierre-Francois does indeed deserve to be so righteously insufferable.
