The Photo by A.J. McDine

5.0

It has been ten years since he fled, ten years since Laura’s sister and two young boys were brutally murdered…by their father, Jason Carrillo. There was only one survivor, Jason’s daughter, five-year-old Lily. Jason has not been seen since that fateful night….until the photo was taken.
Laura used to be a photographer for a newspaper until that gruesome night, now she is filling her resume with weddings. But one day as she is taking photos she somehow captures a stranger in one of her shots, but it is really no stranger. It is her brother-in-law Jason. How can this be? Why has he come back now, is he back to finish what he didn’t ten years ago and kill his daughter? Laura must find him before he finds Lily. However, Lily has put her own life in danger as she has started a social podcast looking for answers and possibly her father.
Overall rating 5/5
A.J. McDine has done it again! Such a nail biting, gripping thriller to the very end. McDine has you convinced as a reader that you know all the facts, and the story's plot line but throws a curve ball twist in the end that has you gasping “wait, what, who” , well at least I did. I listened to this book which was narrated by the wonderful Tamsin Kennard. As always she has such an impeccable ability to make the listener feel as if they are immersed within the pages of the book.

*Thank you to A.J. McDine, Tamsin Kennard, Bookouture Audio, and Netgalley for the ARC copy. I am freely leaving my honest review.
