Death by Thunder — Gretchen Sprague

Photographer and gallery owner Janet Upton is trekking through the mountains of upstate New York with her camera during a thunderstorm when she sees a body plunging to the rocks below. To her double shock, the victim is her outspoken uncle Bud, who has willed her a valuable piece of land with a grim history. No one questions her uncle's tragic death, or seems to notice that it echoes a similar mishap eight years earlier, when another wealthy landowner took a fatal fall in the same spot.

Janet's got an uneasy feeling that gets worse when her photos of her uncle's tragic "accident" are mysteriously destroyed. Convinced that some dangerous secrets and a calculating killer are all interconnected to the piece of land she just inherited, Janet discovers her curiosity is as hazardous as her camera--and one of them just might get her killed.
