The third book in the
Kiki Lowenstein Mystery Series

Old money and tradition are the hallmarks of the St. Louis prep school that Kiki's daughter, Anya, attends. But the elite academy is stamped with scandal when Anya finds the dead body of teacher Sissy Gilchrist in its elegant theatre...and Anya might have seen the killer, too. Pegged as a dangerous flirt and a lousy teacher, Sissy would've made everyone's "least popular" scrapbook page. Was her mixed-race romance the ugly reason for her murder? Or was an ex-lover jealous enough to kill? Fearing Anya is in danger, Kiki sifts through the school community's many shocking secrets to pin down the murderer--and meets with death threats and deep-seated prejudice.

Publisher's Weekly calls Photo, Snap, Shot "diverting" and says the book is "a cut above the usual craft-themed cozy."
