Grace McCaffery does not know where she stands. Rejected as
a child by all but her mother, she feels lost and alone when she arrives on
American soil. Immediately receiving a job as a nanny, she begins to feel slightly
more independent, although extremely untrusting of anyone. When she sees an ad
for a one-dollar brownie camera, she buys it, excited to capture the faces of
the many people who live in New York City. Little does she know that there are
many people who do not want their picture taken, especially a notorious
gangster. When she takes one picture too many, will she be able to trust anyone
to save her?
I LOVED this book. Starting with the cover. One of the most
beautiful and fantastic book covers that I have seen in a while. It perfectly
describes the book’s plot. Secondly, I really enjoyed the way Cindy Thomson
developed the characters. She made them very believable, and relatable as well.
This book was a great balance of suspense, mystery, romance,
and historical fact. I have always loved reading book around this era and
setting. If I had to pick something I disliked, it would probably be that the
book resolved too quickly. Of course, I would be perfectly fine reading books
until all the characters had great grandchildren. Honestly.
Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys an
insightful, unique, and suspenseful read.
This book was given to me by the publisher in exchange for
this review.
