Blue skies and wildflowers signal the start of summer in southern Vermont, and the Stonebridge Keep it Snappy Camera Club lenses are zoomed in on…murder.

It's been more than a year since the sudden death of her husband, and photographer Bobbie Brooks wants nothing more than to escape her grief. Fleeing her life in the city, she seeks a fresh start in the serenity of the Green Mountains. But Bobbie’s new beginning comes to a halt when she finds a member of her camera club dead beneath the village’s idyllic covered bridge. Tragic accident or something sinister? With a keen photographer’s eye, Bobbie suspects murder.

As if transitioning to small-town life wasn’t challenging enough, Bobbie’s missing scarf is found at the murder scene, making her the primary focus. Scorned by local gossips, she enlists the help of her camera club and shifts her lens from photographer to amateur sleuth. Using photos found on the victim’s camera, they waste no time setting out to catch the killer—and discover no shortage of suspects. Secrets, lies, and blackmail…Danger abounds as they close in on the killer. Her camera holds the answers… But can she develop the clues in time to stop the killer?

My Thoughts

Caught on Camera by Kara Lacey has Bobbie Brooks getting a fresh start in Stonebridge, Vermont.  I found the story easy to read with varied pacing. Bobbie is adjusting to life after the death of her husband. I could relate to Bobbie wanting a fresh start after the loss of a loved one. It is hard to move on when you are surrounded by memories of the one you lost. I do not blame Bobbie for wanting that house (I wanted it).  

The murder takes place at the beginning of the book (I thought it was a tad early).  Troublemakers do not last long in a cozy mystery.  Detective Cram has Bobbie at the top of the top of the suspect list.  Bobbie is determined to prove her innocence, and she enlists the help of her fellow Snappy Camera Club members.   The victim was not well liked, so there is no shortage of suspects.  The group uncovers more than they expected during their investigation.  The case has a good wrap at the end.  I was not a fan of the cliched detective (I hope he gets the boot and someone more open-minded takes his place).  I like the photography information included in the story.  I had no idea of all that goes into capturing the perfect photo.  Caught on Camera is a cute cozy with a missing scarf, barn renovations, an odd discovery, curious clues, rampant rumors, surprising secrets, and a helpful camera club.
