'Creepy and gripping - I loved it!' JACKIE KABLER
They want the perfect family picture.
She wants their perfect life.
As a photographer for Manhattan's elite, Delta Dawn is intimately familiar with the city's most illustrious families - and all their secrets. She may blend into the background, but she sees everything.
When she is booked for a job by the glamorous Amelia Straub, there is a jolt of recognition. This time the family feels special - and wouldn't Delta fit so perfectly here with them, in their gorgeous home, their elegant life? She wants nothing more. And as she steadily befriends them all, she discovers that the one thing Amelia wants most is also the perfect way to ensure Delta will never be asked to leave.
Combining pin-sharp storytelling with a tantalising build of menace, and a dangerously magnetic lead character, The Photographer heralds the arrival of a brilliant new crime writer for fans of Netflix drama You by Caroline Kepnes and Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl.

Reviews
A twisted, dark, psychological thriller, The Photographer by Mary Dixie Carter is a riveting and unsettling read. I couldn't put it down Unsettling from page one, Mary Dixie Carter's The Photographer follows an insidious photographer as she wheedles her way into the home of the clients she idolizes, permanently altering the course of all their lives. Masterful storytelling in a unique voice . . . this remarkable debut is sure to keep you riveted! The tension simmers brilliantly in this addictive and intricately constructed story of beauty, longing and the shadow side of desire. By holding up a mirror to our modern-day obsessions, Mary Dixie Carter shows us the futility of chasing greener grass and the madness that begins with picture-perfection. After reading The Photographer, the phrase 'living the dream' takes on a whole new and chilling meaning Why create the perfect life when you can just insert yourself into someone else's? Mary Dixie Carter's The Photographer is You meets Parasite, and I inhaled every dark, twisted moment of this brilliant thriller. Sharply observant, tense, and totally hypnotic, The Photographer is the most addictive suspense novel I've read in years As sharply focused and mesmerizing as a magic trick and a good deal creepier than most The menacing, manipulative lead character drew me in from chapter one and wouldn't let me go. Creepy and gripping - I loved it! Expand reviewsTia Book Cellar is proud to partner with Libro.fm to give you a great audiobook experience.
