The Camera Never Lies Blog Tour


cover Camera Never LiesDavid Rawlings, author of The Baggage Handler, returns with another probing story: what would you do if your secrets were revealed to those around you?

Daniel Whiteley is a successful couples counselor who regularly puts families back together, helping them face up to the things in life they hide. But his own marriage is falling apart.

His wife, Kelly, knows Daniel is hiding something from her, but she doesn’t dare probe for fear her own secrets will be revealed.

When his grandfather dies, Daniel inherits an old SLR camera from a time when cameras pointed away from the person taking the photograph. On the camera is an inscription: “Use this camera
wisely and remember, regardless of the picture you think you took, the camera never lies.”
When Daniel first uses his new camera he finds someone has already filled the roll of film. Annoyed, he processes the film and finds photos of a secret that he’s been hiding from his wife and daughter.
He has no idea who took them.

Now every time he uses the camera, the photographs reveal another secret about himself the he is desperate to keep-as well as those of his wife, which he is desperate to uncover.

My Thoughts:

This book was intriguing.  Daniel, a counselor, and his wife Kelly, a pharmaceutical sales rep, both are hiding secrets from each other and the world around them. All families have problems, and Daniel is just chalking theirs up to stresses of daily life. However, when his grandfather passes away, and he inherits the old camera his grandfather owned, his viewpoint is altered. It's very interesting how the camera took pictures of what was going on in their hearts and not the outward appearance. As Daniel takes pictures, truth is revealed and it's not what he wants to see. Now, he is faced with a dilemma. He can deny the truth and continue down the path he's on, or face the truth and do something about it. 

I think you will enjoy this read. It is a relatively short, easy read that flows smoothly and subtly incorporates truth and faith into the plot. I wouldn't say its overtly Christian, just mysteriously so... Their an air of mystery, and some supernatural elements, that keep it interesting. 

I received this book from the publisher and Celebrate lit for tour participation. I was not asked to review this book positively and all opinions are my own.
