"New York Times bestselling master of mystery Phillip Margolin transcends his traditional territory in this haunting new contemporary thriller inspired by an unforgettable photograph. Visiting an art museum displaying a retrospective of acclaimed photographer Kathy Moran's work, aspiring novelist Stacey Kim is stunned by the photo at the center of the show--the famous "Woman with a Gun" which won a Pulitzer Prize and launched the photographer's career. Shot from behind, the enigmatic black-and-white image is a picture of a woman in a wedding dress, standing on the shore at night, facing the sea. Behind her back, she holds a six-shooter. The image captures Stacey's imagination, raising a host of compelling questions. Has the woman killed her husband on their wedding night? Is she going to commit suicide? Is she waiting for someone she plans to kill? Obsessed with finding answers, Stacey discovers that the woman in the photograph is Megan Cahill, suspected of killing her husband, millionaire Raymond Cahill, with the six-shooter on their wedding night. But the murder was never solved. Drawn deeper into the case, Stacey finds that everyone involved has a different opinion of Megan's culpability. But the one person who may know the whole story--Kathy Moran--isn't talking. Stacey must find a way to get to the reclusive photographer or the truth may never see the light of day"--… (mere)

This was a really good book. It didn't have too many characters to keep track of. ( )

Stacy Kim is a receptionist whose goal is to write the next great American novel. When she stumbles across an award-winning photograph at an art gallery, she knows she has found the basis of her book. Little does she know that this photograph, called “Woman With A Gun”, will take her into a real life investigation involving murder and put her on own life at risk.
As she begins her research, Stacy finds the photograph was taken by a former defense attorney who happened upon the scene depicted on the woman’s wedding day. The woman’s husband was murdered that day. Nobody had ever been arrested. And then we get deeply involved in multiple side stories spanning decades with the characters meeting over and over again until the surprise conclusion. 3.5 ⭐️ ( )

A really interesting novel by Phillip Margolin. A little confusing as it jumps back and forth from the past to the present, but this also sets up the storyline for a really big reveal at the end, one I had thought might be possible but I wasn't sure how it could be accomplished. What's most interesting to me is, there is this picture of a woman with a gun. Margolin sees it, falls in love with it, and decides to write a story about it, explaining it. And in the novel, one lead character goes to moma, sees this very same picture, falls in love with it, and decides to write a story about it. Of course she (the lead character that's a writer) solves a ten year old murder mystery while she's at it, but there ya go, finito! I love when this happens.....lol.
A very engrossing novel, and I give it 4.5 stars. ( )

Interesting story about a writer who sees a photo and wonders about the back story of the photo. Woman with a Gun tells the story of a 10 year old murder case and the people who were involved in the murder. ( )

A new direction for Phillip Margolin in this book. Kathy Moran took a picture of a woman holding a gun on the beach at a murder scene. Stacy Kim saw this photo at an exhibit in a New York gallery and it started a mission so to speak for Stacy. It inspired her to write a novel.

The case wasn't actually ever solved and then Stacy's digging began.

I thought this was a good plot, with good characters. The energy builds in a kind of laid back way till towards the later 3rd of the book where it takes off. ( )
