A Snapshot of Murder

fullDescription

Critically acclaimed author Frances Brody is back with the tenth installment in her Kate Shackleton series, perfect for fans of Jacqueline Winspear and Nicola Upson.
Seven keen amateur photographers gather for the most popular openings of the decade. Only six will return.
Yorkshire, 1928. Indomitable sleuth Kate Shackleton is taking a well-deserved break from her detective work and indulging in her other passion: photography. When her local Photographic Society proposes an outing to the opening of the Bronte Museum, Kate jumps at the chance to visit the setting of Wuthering Heights. But the setting proves to be even more sinister than the dreary classic when a member of their party is found murdered.
The event is one of the most popular of the decade, and each of the seven photographers were there to capture the perfect shot of a lifetime. But Tobias, the deceased, was known for being loud-mouthed and didn’t care to curb his demeanor. Kate deduces that he must have had several enemies. But soon, she begins to suspect that perhaps the murderer is amongst them. And before they shrink to just a group of five, Kate must pick back up her magnifying glass and sleuthing cap to crack the case in A Snapshot of Murder, Frances Brody’s tenth brilliant Kate Shackleton mystery.

     February 11, 2019
     Set in 1928, Brody’s well-crafted 10th Kate Shackleton mystery (after 2018’s Death in the Stars) takes amateur sleuth Kate, a WWI widow, and other members of the Leeds Photographic Society to Haworth, Yorkshire, for the opening of the new Brontë Museum. Once the merry band of shutterbugs arrives at their destination, the air fairly crackles with the anticipation of murder. As Kate notes, “Seven of us went on that photographic outing. Six of us returned.” The one who doesn’t return is Tobias, the group’s disagreeable chairman, who has a dark past. The simmering tension gradually heats up to a rolling boil. Brody dresses this elegant mystery in literary history while accenting the cultural mores of the tumultuous 1920s. She also convincingly renders the secrets and vices of her well-rounded characters. An intelligent and complex woman, Kate is someone readers will want to see a lot more of. Agent: Rebecca Winfield, Rebecca Winfield Literary.

     Kate Shackleton, an independent investigator in late-1920s Yorkshire, thinks she's taking a bit of a holiday with her photography club, as they join the crowds in Haworth for the opening of the Bront� Museum. The group?which includes Kate and her niece; Tobias and Carine Murchison, who own a photography studio; Carine's former fianc�, long thought to have died in WWI; a young newspaperman who is besotted with Carine; and a friend of Kate's?travels by train to the nearby town, doing a bit of sightseeing before settling into their lodgings. The next day, at the museum opening, the group is pressed into the crowd, but Tobias stumbles, having been fatally stabbed. Marcus Childs from Scotland Yard is called in, but, rather than urge Kate to stay out of it, as he usually does, he contracts with Kate and her associates to make the inquiries he cannot. Their digging reveals ties between Tobias and two other unexplained deaths, broadening the suspect pool but also giving Kate the clues she needs. Another fine entry in a strong historical-mystery series; perfect for fans of post-WWI detectives, including Maisie Dobbs and Bess Crawford.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
