With biting wit, a young lens, and satisfying sleuthing that's "right in focus (Kirkus)," Christin Brecher's refreshingly fun Snapshot of NYC mysteries has rising star photographer Liv Spyers living the dream in New York City when she lands an assignment with an award-winning pop star-until a murder means Liv must focus her camera's lens into sleuth mode...

Liv Spyers hits the big time when she lands a photography assignment with Grammy Award-winning pop star, the one and only Bisa. A huge fan, Liv is extra thrilled that her new boyfriend, Harry, will join her at the glamorous premiere of Bisa's debut movie. But when the music icon's estranged sister, Anna, threatens to turn photo ops into PR disasters during Bisa's parties and pop-up concerts, Liv finds that the star-studded world she's joined is filled with images she'd rather delete--especially when Anna winds up dead . . .

Bisa's inner circle has secrets Liv must expose before she can bring the right mugshot to the police. And while Harry has a mystery of his own to solve, the two must navigate glossy stories that can be cancelled in a snap --before the killer strikes again . . .
