Description

With biting wit, a young lens, and satisfying sleuthing that's "right in focus (Kirkus)," Christin Brecher's refreshingly fun Snapshot of NYC mysteries has rising star photographer Liv Spyers living the dream in New York City when she lands an assignment with an award-winning pop star-until a murder means Liv must focus her camera's lens into sleuth mode... "A twisty-turny, witty and wonderful, mysterious romp through New York City that was a pure delight to read." -New York Times bestselling author Jenn McKinlay "Brecher has a winner with this new series that will delight cozy mystery readers!" -Abby Collette, author of A Killer Sundae Liv Spyers hits the big time when she lands a photography assignment with Grammy Award-winning pop star, the one and only Bisa. A huge fan, Liv is extra thrilled that her new boyfriend, Harry, will escort her to the glamorous premiere of Bisa's debut movie. But when Bisa's estranged sister, Courtney, threatens to turn the photo-op into a PR disaster, Liv goes after her-only to turn to camera lens on herself when Courtney winds up dead. With all eyes on Liv, her star-studded career is suddenly on the verge of being cancelled . . . Bisa is leaning hard on Liv to catch her sister's killer-while she and her flirtatious entourage are wreaking havoc on Liv's relationship with Harry. Now the best Liv can hope for is that her most famous photo doesn't turn out to be her own mugshot. And that she can save herself-and Harry-before the killer strikes again . . .
