"A breathless psychological thriller about epic mind games."--PEOPLEA Publishers Weekly Best Mystery/Thriller of 2021 WHEN PERFECT IMAGES As a photographer, Delta Dawn observes the seemingly perfect lives of New York City's elite: snapping photos of their children's birthday parties, transforming images of stiff hugs and tearstained faces into visions of pure joy, and creating moments these parents long for. ARE MADE OF BEAUTIFUL LIES But when Delta is hired for Natalie Straub's eleventh birthday, she finds herself wishing she wasn't behind the lens but a part of the scene--in the Straub family's gorgeous home and elegant life. THE TRUTH WILL BE EXPOSED That's when Delta puts her plan in place, by babysitting for Natalie; befriending her mother, Amelia; finding chances to listen to her father, Fritz. Soon she's bathing in the master bathtub, drinking their expensive wine, and eyeing the beautifully finished garden apartment in their townhouse. It seems she can never get close enough, until she discovers that photos aren't all she can manipulate.

Low-key, engaging
Published by Books. Oxygen. Peanut butter. , 10 months ago
This is a quiet character study. Nicely done. Easy to read. A pleasant change of pace from my usual action-packed thrillers. "Photographer" lost one star because I hate (as in, HATE) continuity errors. (In this case: 1) all of the grandparents are being photographed inside the apartment, then in the next paragraph they enter the apartment; 2) all relevant photoshopped records are deleted, yet - bam! - there they are.) Such lapses make me feel that the author is kinda lazy and that the editor doesn't care (so why should I).
Wild ride
Published by WILMA BROWN , 1 year ago
The Photographer is a story that will make you shake your head many times. The skilled Photographer is great at her job. But when the wild ride gets out of control things make you want to read more. I hope there will be a movie from this book.
