The Photographer is a tale of manipulation and illusion as the main character Delta Dawn insinuates herself into the Straub’s lives. She uses her photography to get what she wants.

Amelia Straub hires Delta to take photos of her child Natalie’s birthday party which leads to babysitting and other jobs for the family. Delta is obsessed with them and their extravagant lifestyle, imagining herself as part of their family, even altering their photos to put herself in them. Delta has no boundaries and no qualms, and the reader questions her motive.

I was on edge following Delta as she spins her lies and exploits the family. The characters are sucked into Delta’s maneuvering except for Natalie who almost exposes Delta. I recommend this psychological thriller that will keep the reader guessing until the end. I thank NetGalley for letting me review this advanced copy.
