Suitable for Framing - Herbst, Lori Roberts

. .

Résumé :
Now that prize-winning photojournalist Callie Cassidy has returned to the mountainside village of her youth, she believes she's put crime scenes and corpses in her rearview mirror. So why does she end up-once again-focusing her lens on murder? Callie Cassidy is no stranger to dead bodies. Two decades as a photojournalist on a big-city newspaper landed her face to face with so many of them that her colleagues dubbed her Queen of the Dead. Now, Callie believes her days of hanging out with cadavers are behind her. With her lovable golden retriever Woody in tow, she has returned in disgrace to Rock Creek Village, Colorado, where she licks her wounds in a cabin on her parents' Rocky Mountain ski resort property. But when her mother persuades her to abandon her fetal position beneath the quilts and take a photographer gig at the Snowflake Swirl winter ball, Callie's foray back into the real world lands her smack in the middle of town drama. Before the first partygoer arrives, Callie stumbles across a deadly scene. A former classmate, one of the mean girls from high school, lies lifeless on her office floor. Another woman from Callie's past crouches above the body, holding a bloody letter opener. The conclusion is obvious-at least to rookie detective Raul Sanchez. But Callie believes there's more to the picture. With the help of an adopted stray cat named Carl, whose investigative skills may rival her own, Callie sets out to find the real murderer. Because unless she, her pets, and a quirky group of villagers can solve the mystery, Callie's photos won't be the only thing being framed.
