Shutter is a mix of mystery, police procedure, and a bit of paranormal thriller. Rita is a forensic photographer for the Albuquerque PD. Her Navajo background is at odds with her ability to see and talk to the ghosts she sees everywhere. Especially ghosts of the bodies she photographs at crime scenes, car accidents. If this was a series, I’d read more!
A charming cozy mystery with likeable characters, quick pace, and a delightful locale. Once you finish this one, you’ll want to jump into the rest of the series!
A heartwarming book with fun twists and ultimately it has a calming effect on the reader. It deals with grief and family in realistic, albeit very coincidental ways. With a sentient octopus monologuing every other chapter, these coincidences fit right in with the cheeky humor of the book.
A quick and fun read, this thriller is bound to keep you on the edge of your seat! I was instantly captivated by the large cast of characters and multiple POVs that I couldn’t put the book down until the very end.
