The Last Snapshot

A Willow Creek Mystery

Book cover of "The Last Snapshot" by Diana Freel, featuring a woman standing with a crow and a dog on a dark, moonlit street. "A Willow Creek Mystery" is printed above the title, suggesting themes of mystery or thriller.

When Claire Anderson finally opens the doors to her dream bakery in the quiet town of Willow Creek, it’s meant to be a new beginning. But when her best friend and beloved photographer, Liam O’Connor, is found dead near the town’s scenic overlook, Claire’s new chapter takes a dark and unexpected turn.

Grief-stricken but determined, Claire teams up with FBI profiler Samantha Hayes to uncover what really happened the night Liam died. The deeper they dig, the more they uncover about secret societies, hidden histories, and a mysterious raven that seems to appear whenever the truth is near.

As whispers grow louder and the past refuses to stay buried, Claire must decide how far she’s willing to go for justice—and whether the answers she finds will bring peace or more heartbreak.

Set in the misty Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania, The Last Snapshot is a cozy mystery filled with warmth, suspense, and a touch of the uncanny. Perfect for fans of Practical Magic, Midnight at the Blackbird Café, and The House in the Cerulean Sea.
