The Photo is a fast-paced thriller that gives you a drip feed of new information as it goes to its ending which took a few twists along the way. This was a fun thriller and I was happy with the final twist this book took. 

For most of the book, each chapter gave you just enough to keep you engaged. Ten years ago Lara took custody of her niece Lily. This happened after Lara’s sister and her twin sons were brutally murdered. Lily was the only survivor since her father Jason was missing and presumed to have killed himself since the scene was set as a murder-suicide. 

In the present day, Lara takes a landscape picture and sees Jason in the background. Upon seeing Jason alive she is determined to find out what he’s doing back and if he was the murderer. 

Most of this book was very predictable that’s why I mentioned I was happy with the final twist.  Before that twist came I was a little disappointed with how everything wrapped up. Then I was hit with that final twist and it made the entire book better. 

If you like thrillers The Photo is one to check out.

Final score: 4/5
