The Last Snapshot: A Willow Creek Series by Diana Freel
Some secrets were meant to stay buried…
When Claire Anderson finally opens the doors to her dream bakery in the quiet town of Willow Creek, it feels like a long-overdue fresh start.
But her peace is shattered when her best friend—beloved local photographer Liam O’Connor—is found dead near the town’s scenic overlook.
The sheriff says it was an accident.
Claire knows it wasn’t.
With the help of returning FBI profiler Samantha Hayes, Claire begins to dig into secrets the town has tried to forget. What she uncovers is more than she bargained for—hidden history, cryptic symbols, secret societies, and a raven that always seems to be watching.
As grief turns to determination, Claire is drawn into a mystery far deeper than a single death… one that could threaten everything she loves.
Set against the misty backdrop of the Laurel Highlands, The Last Snapshot is a cozy mystery filled with atmospheric suspense, rich emotion, and a chilling thread of the uncanny.
Perfect for fans of:
✓ Small-town secrets
✓ Female amateur sleuths
✓ Slow-burn suspense with heart
✓ A dash of the eerie in a cozy setting
