Leathan Wilkey #3
The Camera
Leathan Wilkey doesn’t know who murdered his friend — or why she was murdered — but he will remain tormented until he brings about some sort of justice for her.
At first, Leathan Wilkey thinks he led the killer to Anaïs.
Leathan had been looking for the owner of a camera that was left in Anaïs’ café. It was a small favor for her — a favor that seems to have led trouble from his past to his friend.
But as he follows the few details about her death of which he is certain, Leathan realizes that the murder wasn’t connected to him, and the search for the camera’s owner wasn’t a favor for Anaïs. When he was looking for the owner of the lost camera, he was, in fact, creating a distraction. And now that Anaïs is dead, Leathan doesn’t understand why he was duped into creating this distraction.
Leathan needs to find the person who wanted him to create a diversion. Maybe this person knows who killed Anaïs — and why.
Maybe.
All Leathan knows for sure is that he will remain tormented until he brings about some sort of justice for Anaïs.

This is the first of Simon Cann's books that I have read, and I was impressed. I found the first few chapters a bit slow and slightly confusing, maybe because I hadn't read the previous books in the series, but then the story really got into top gear and took off very strongly.
I thought that the main characters were, eventually, very well drawn and as believable as one would expect in a thriller. The plot was clever, and the way that Leathan (the central character) was forced to play off the various other characters against each other was masterful.
The other major plus for me, was the really evocative descriptions of Paris.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author and voluntarily wrote this review from it.

The Camera. Simon Cann
Leathan Wilkey finds people. His good friend in Paris wants him to find the owners of a camera left in her restaurant. Then she is murdered. Leathan is determined to find the owners of the camera with their pictures left on the camera. The owners of the camera are assassin's hired to kill the person who now has possession of the camera. This is a thriller extraordinaire with twists and turns to the very last page. Enjoyed immensely!

Well done
Good story with many twists and turns. Leathen is a clever guy the way he makes things go his way at the end.
, and the guy goes free.

THE CAMERA by Simon Cann series Leathan Wilkey # 3
Anais owner of a cafe, one phone call and she is on edge. She trust's Leathan, yet, it only takes a slip. A camera left at cafe, expensive, it's what's on it, will they return, or too embarrassed. For him to find owners, and she will keep camera safe. A simple favor, to put up some fliers, to ask some people. Then awaiting for Anais, after cafe was closed, everything changed. Was there something in his past, that led them to cafe, or is it the owners of the camera. He needed answers, to right a wrong that maybe he did.
A first for me to read this author, different style, and one I enjoyed. With the sights of Paris, you feel as though you are with him. A good flowing plot from the beginning, to figure out the pieces. Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.
