THE GOLDEN HOUR MURDER by Jeanne Quigley
The Second Robyn Cavanagh Mystery 

 

While working as an accountant is the bread and butter that keeps her solvent, Robyn Cavanagh is proud that her interest in photography has developed into a lucrative sideline. In addition to taking family portraits she's just landed a job as photographer for Linden Acres Farm. Recalling happy memories at the family farm herself, Robyn is now preserving the joy found in every aspect of the place, from its apple orchards to the Fall Fun Festival to the family itself. Given fairly free rein Robyn is excited to arrive at the farm as dawn breaks, that golden hour when the sunlight perfectly illuminates the fruit. After taking a variety of photos her session comes to an abrupt end when she discovers the body of Doug Paxton, the newly named CEO. Was this a tragic accident? Or murder? As Robyn continues to capture Linden Acres in photographs she's also making discrete inquiries to help capture a killer. 

I absolutely love Robyn Cavanagh. Robyn is smart, dedicated, and a person I'd enjoy being around. I love that she's able to show her creative side with her photography, and the fact that's she's earning money with her skill is icing on the cake. I also really appreciate her relationship with Will. They have an amazing friendship. Could it be something more? Everyone around them believes it already is. Should it be? I'm not sure, but, whatever the case they balance each other perfectly and make a great team.

 

I really enjoyed the mystery in the second Robyn Cavanagh Mystery. There were lots of viable suspects, including one I really wanted to be guilty, a lot of family drama, and more than one surprise. The manner in which Robyn and Will investigated was refreshing, a subtle kind of sleuthing. Robyn's parents had me chuckling as they helped the investigation as well. But not everything was pleasant and charming. There was some excitement too!

 

Well plotted, filled with wonderful characters and a sense of community THE GOLDEN HOUR MURDER is an absolutely delightful mystery.

It’s October and Mother Nature has painted photographer Robyn Cavanagh’s suburban New York hometown in rich colors of red, orange, and gold. Autumn has provided many scenic locales to shoot, but Robyn is happily preoccupied with one particular landscape. She’s landed the biggest job of her flourishing career: a contract to photograph the lush Linden Acres farm.

Her work begins with sunshine-filled days of apple and pumpkin picking and starry nights featuring a spectacular display of glowing jack-o’-lanterns. The merry mood darkens after Robyn discovers the body of Doug Paxton, the estranged husband of a member of the Linden clan.

Robyn can’t look through her camera’s viewfinder without picturing Doug’s body in the Linden pumpkin patch. Along with her friend Will Vonderlin, she plays detective to solve Doug’s murder. Will the killer be caught before the apples and pumpkins are turned into Thanksgiving pies, or will Robyn lose her best client and watch her career fade along with the autumn colors?
