Snapshot
Kate Hill's grandfather is a serial killer.
She’s got photographs to prove it: snapshots that go back as far as fifty years. Some of them are blurry, but there’s no mistaking the tall, gaunt figure burying bodies in a garden she'd been digging in since she was a toddler with a plastic play shovel.
Her world changed the moment she found the first snapshot in an alley next to the corpse of an old woman: her grandfather’s friend Mary. But Mary turns out to be more than just an innocent victim. And the bloody trail Kate is following leads to something more dangerous than she could ever have imagined ...

Review to come....

Even serial killers think about retirement, especially after being in the business for nearly fifty years. Marvin Hill is getting old, and it’s getting harder to hide the bodies now that his granddaughter Kate is hanging around so much. How many roses can one old man plant in his garden, after all? He wants to call it quits, but when his partner, Mary Frances, disagrees, he’s forced to claim one more victim. Unfortunately for Marvin, Mary proves to be more difficult to deal with in death than she ever was alive.
The premise behind Beau Hall’s Snapshot is a creative one, and his characters are so well-written it’s hard to dislike them … even while they are committing heinous acts of bribery, deceit and murder. The book is filled with many twists and turns, and even when I thought I knew what was going to happen, Hall surprised me. He writes with laugh out loud humor, although the story line is delightfully dark. Snapshot moves at a nice clip and presents many surprises along the way.
Snapshot held promise from the very beginning, and the ending was unexpected and very satisfying. Beau Hall has written a spectacular ghost story/ thriller, and I look forward to reading much more from this very entertaining author.

Well. To be fair. I wrote it, so, what I thought about the book is probably somewhat prejudiced and hardly impartial.
That sad, I loved it.

A fun read, at times gruesome, and others darkly humorous. Without giving anything away, I loved the premise and setting, and I thought it had a good cast of likable/hate-able characters. The pacing was brisk in the first half but the middle bogged down with clunky dialogue here and there. I think a three and a half star rating would be more fair.

An entertaining story, but the end fell flat for me and it needed another round of proof - reading.

I couldn't put it down. The story was spellbinding, and evocative!
