Shutter

By: Ramona Emerson

Narrated by: Charley Flyte

This blood-chilling debut set in New Mexico’s Navajo Nation is equal parts gripping crime thriller, supernatural horror, and poignant portrayal of coming of age on the reservation

Rita Todacheene is a forensic photographer working for the Albuquerque police force. Her excellent photography skills have cracked many cases—she is almost supernaturally good at capturing details. In fact, Rita has been hiding a secret: she sees the ghosts of crime victims who point her toward the clues that other investigators overlook.

As a lone portal back to the living for traumatized spirits, Rita is terrorized by nagging ghosts who won’t let her sleep and who sabotage her personal life. Her taboo and psychologically harrowing ability was what drove her away from the Navajo reservation, where she was raised by her grandmother. It has isolated her from friends and gotten her in trouble with the law.

And now it might be what gets her killed.

When Rita is sent to photograph the scene of a supposed suicide on a highway overpass, the furious, discombobulated ghost of the victim—who insists she was murdered—latches onto Rita, forcing her on a quest for revenge against her killers, and Rita finds herself in the crosshairs of one of Albuquerque’s most dangerous cartels. Written in sparkling, gruesome prose, Shutter is an explosive debut from one of crime fiction's most powerful new voices.

Very interesting and loved the tribal influence

I didn't expect this story to be so good. A part of what made it good were the tribal
Elements scattered through the story. Lovely.

Loved It!!

Full of suspense & wonderfully narrated. Highly recommend! I hope the author writes more great stories!

Well written

Kept me wanting to hear more and on the edge of my seat. The story is well written

Fantastic!

I loved this book, and can't wait to listen to the next one! The relationship of the main character with her grandmother really connected with me, as I am very close with my grandmother. The crime scene elements, the mystery, and spooky intrigue of the spirits added very interesting elements.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I could not put this book down. The narrator did a good job with this book. Easy to follow along with. And I’m happy with the ending.
