A professional photographer who won't back down from a mystery when friends or family are in trouble - even if her own life is in danger - Rowan O'Donnell is a woman to be taken seriously.Whether it's a case of murder, suspected drug dealing, or kidnapping, Rowan isn't afraid to stick her nose in and ask the hard questions. And woe to anyone who threatens her dog, Twist.Rowan O'Donnell was created as a way for me to unite and share my love of photography and mysteries. Exploring the world with a camera can lead to seeing people and things in unique ways.And Rowan has developed as an interesting character in her own right. A woman with a troubled childhood whose father died as a homeless alcoholic, she can be difficult to get close to, but once a friend, she is loyal to the end.I hope you enjoy these first three books of the series as an introduction to her world. There are many more books ahead!
