“Mary Dixie Carter’s affinity for creating a multilayered character and an unnerving plot soars in her sizzling debut, The Photographer.… Carter, a journalist, takes the unreliable narrator to a new level as Delta’s conversations are loaded with lies. The Photographer puts a new talent in focus.”

—Oline Cogdill, South Florida Sun Sentinel

“To call any novel unputdownable is to set a bar so high that few authors can succeed in vaulting it. But Carter does so in The Photographer—and, like Shakespeare’s Macbeth, murders sleep.”

—The Free Lance-Star

“This may be the creepiest psychological thriller of the year (and quite possibly the decade). You’ll have to suspend your disbelief in a few spots—but if you go with it, this story will take you on a journey that will make you start to wonder if you’re the crazy one. It’s an incredibly engaging psychological thriller with dark undertones, many secrets, and lots of obsessions.”

—The Girlfriend (4 Fabulous Books to Read This Summer)

“A study in slow-building tension. As the tension ratchets up, you’ll find yourself anxiously awaiting revelations. But you’re unlikely to guess all of them.”

—Jersey’s Best
