The Holiday Photo Murder - A Review & Giveaway

 Review


THE HOLIDAY PHOTO MURDER by Jeanne Quigley
The Third Robyn Cavanagh Mystery

While still working as an accountant, it's her flourishing photography business that is even more exhilarating for Robyn Cavanagh. Since becoming the photographer for Linden Acres farm, she's become Garland, New York's premiere photographer. Robyn is thrilled to be the official photographer for publisher Natalie Hoffmann's holiday party. Bookends is elegantly decorated for the season and Robyn is able to take a multitude of photos highlighting the magnificent estate along with the guests. Unfortunately, the festivities are cut short when Russell Nowak, Natalie's significant other, is found dead. Did the killing have to do with Russell's plans to develop in Garland, Natalie's publishing company, or was the reason more personal? Having been instrumental in solving two previous murders, Robyn decides to see if she can solve this one.  

THE HOLIDAY PHOTO MURDER is a mystery of relationships. Relationships between friends and family, those who work together, romantic partnerships, and even the community itself. All are important and all play a role in this mystery. One of my favorite relationships is that between Robyn and Will. Definitely a couple, they work together brilliantly, whether it's helping Robyn capture the perfect shot, simply enjoying each others company, or solving a murder!

I thoroughly enjoyed the mystery with its many twists and turns and the quietly subtle way in which Robyn looked into matters, with the help of Will and her parents. I love how her folks really get into the investigation. 

With an elegant Christmas backdrop and down to earth characters THE HOLIDAY PHOTO MURDER is an enjoyable mystery, no matter the season.
