Photos lead to murder (Snapshot, Linda Barnes 1963)

Linda Barnes. Snapshot (1993) PI Carlotta Carlyle takes on a job to investigate the circs around a beloved child’s death. Someone steals her garbage cans. A nurse is found murdered. Some creep makes friends with Paolina. And so it goes, in a well-plotted tale with a satisfying conclusion and enough detail and ambience to keep our disbelief agreeably suspended. Carlotta gets her garbage cans back, too.
      Found this Carlyle novel at the food bank’s permanent yard sale, if I find any more, I’ll read them too. **½
