This short story begins with a break-in. Amanda Kerwood steps into her photography studio to discover her research thrown on the floor, an important file missing, and, most importantly, her computer is gone. On the comp as well as the missing backups, are the final proofs for her upcoming studio show. Catastrophe. And the police aren’t easy to deal with either.
The subject matter of the show? Nude models, specifically, nudes displaying scars from surgeries that include breast tissue donors. Some give their tissue so that others may be beautiful. But what are they left as? Trash.
I thought this mystery was nicely paced for a short story. I did find myself skimming through excessive detail on camera tech. I know its the perspective of a photographer but I’m not that interested in the nitty gritty. But other than that it was a nice story and a very quick read. A little too quick, the ending threw me a little, would’ve liked another clue or two. Definitely deep and worth your time!
I really really appreciate that the author cares for women and for more than just the skin on their chests!
