A poignant police procedural with an unsavory crime at its core; The Photographer is creepy from the get-go.
When a self made tech company owner's home is raided, a collection of photographs is discovered hidden in a floor cavity containing snapshots of women in public who are clearly unaware of their picture having being taken. Some of these women, it is later discovered had been the victim of a vicious assault and rape - the perpetrator, however, was unidentifiable at the time.
Through police work and investigative journalism, the perpetrator's ties to freedom begin to fray, while Narey's personal life comes under threat from online bullying which raises questions over her families safety such is the profile of the case.
Despite being book #7 in the Narey and Winters series, The Photographer reads perfectly well as a standalone. I haven't read any of the earlier books and didn't feel 'lost' at all.
My rating: 3/5, largely formulaic, readers know what they're getting into with The Photographer. The courtroom and case technicalities combined with legal tricks and journalistic schemes are hallmarks of this genre and all are well written, plotted and fit the tone of the narrative perfectly.
