The depths to which Delta insinuates herself into their lives, and the reader's growing realization that her fixation on the family can end only in the worst possible way, make the ensuing narrative climax all the more shocking for its unexpected twist."-- New York Times Book Review "Brace for hold-your-breath suspense from this dazzlingly devious newcomer. "-- Publishers Weekly (Starred) "As sharply focused and mesmerizing as a magic trick and a good deal creepier than most."-- Kirkus Reviews "The sense of impending disaster is palpable, as the suspense and tension grow, and what happens at the end is unexpected and odd. Creepy, dark, and suspenseful . . . A gripping read."-- Booklist "[An] explosive debut."-- Library Journal "A twisted, dark, psychological thriller, The Photographer by Mary Dixie Carter is a riveting and unsettling read. I couldn't put it down."--Lisa Lutz, New York Times bestselling author of The Passenger "Reading Mary Dixie Carter's The Photographer - which I did in one riveted sitting - is like encountering a masterfully manipulated photograph that just keeps developing before one's eyes. The result is one of the most provocatively chilling debut novels I have read in a long time."--John Burnham Schwartz, author of Reservation Road and The Red Daughter "Why create the perfect life when you can just insert yourself into someone else's? Mary Dixie Carter's The Photographer is You meets Parasite , and I inhaled every dark, twisted moment of this brilliant thriller. Sharply observant, tense, and totally hypnotic, The Photographer is the most addictive suspense novel I've read in years."--Jennifer Hillier, award-winning author of Jar of Hearts and Little Secrets "The tension simmers brilliantly in this addictive and intricately constructed story of beauty, longing and the shadow side of desire. By holding up a mirror to our modern-day obsessions, Mary Dixie Carter shows us the futility of chasing greener grass and the madness that begins with picture-perfection. After reading The Photographer , the phrase 'living the dream' takes on a whole new and chilling meaning."--Anna Downes, international bestselling author of The Safe Place "Unsettling from page one, Mary Dixie Carter's The Photographer follows an insidious photographer as she wheedles her way into the home of the clients she idolizes, permanently altering the course of all of their lives.
