This globe-trotting mystery featuring intrepid photojournalist Sophie Medina is an “assured tale of love, loss, and secret agendas, the first in a new series, which... offers a complex portrait of our nation’s capital, with its historic beauty and roiling underbelly of deceit and danger” (Publishers Weekly).When photojournalist Sophie Medina returns to London from an overseas assignment, she discovers that her husband, Nick, a geologist and covert CIA operative, has been abducted and assumed dead. Three months later, a friend in the British government relays that Nick has been spotted in Moscow, but Sophie is allowed little joy before the news turns dark—Nick is accused as a suspect in his boss’s murder and rumors circulate that he’s involved in illicit Russian oil deals. With her every step closely watched, Sophie moves to Washington, DC, to be with her family and friends. There, Sophie is drawn deeper into Nick’s shadowy world. While photographing an exhibit of two never-before-seen Fabergé imperial eggs at the National Gallery of Art, Sophie is confronted by a Russian oil tycoon, implicating her husband in an international energy scheme. On the run from Nick’s enemies, Sophie plays a high-stakes game of Russian roulette as she tries to determine friend from foe and prove her husband’s innocence. Weaving together political intrigue, art history, and international espionage, the fast-paced Multiple Exposure is the thrilling first novel of an exciting new series.

Multiple Exposure: A Sophie Medina Mystery (Sophie Medina Mysteries), by Ellen Crosby From Publishers Weekly Crosby (The Sauvignon Secret and five other wine country mysteries) introduces photojournalist Sophie Medina, in this assured tale of love, loss, and secret agendas, the first in a new series. After the disappearance of her husband, Nick Canning, an undercover agent with ties to several shadowy international agencies, Sophie returns from abroad to Washington, D.C., where she takes a job photographing an exclusive exhibit of recently discovered Fabergé eggs at the National Gallery of Art. Despite trying to keep a low profile, she's drawn into a sinister conspiracy after a Russian diplomat accosts her and demands to know Nick's whereabouts. The discovery of a body near the George Mason Memorial raises the stakes as Sophie realizes she's being watched by both U.S. and foreign agents who believe Nick is not only alive but responsible for several murders. Crosby offers a complex portrait of our nation's capital, with its historic beauty and roiling underbelly of deceit and danger. Agent: Dominick Abel, Dominick Abel Literary Agency. (Aug.)
From Booklist In a departure from her Virginia Wine Country series (The Sauvignon Secret, 2011), former news correspondent Crosby introduces Sophie Medina, a photojournalist whose CIA-operative husband, Nick, has disappeared. Though she has no solid evidence, Sophie believes that Nick is still alive and that his disappearance is tied to an extremely lucrative oil discovery. With no leads in London, Sophie leaves the UK and returns to her native Washington, D.C. After being taunted by a Russian oil tycoon at a Fabergé egg exhibit at the National Gallery, Sophie is more convinced than ever that Nick is still alive and that the Russians know how to find him. That same night she overhears a conversation that leads her to believe that a U.S. senator and the Russian ambassador are involved in plans to assassinate a controversial Russian author with information about abuses in the region where a new oil reserve may have been found. A solid thriller. --Karen Keefe
Review "Crosby introduces photojournalist Sophie Medina in this assured tale of love, loss, and secret agendas, the first in a new series, [which]...offers a complex portrait of our nation’s capital, with its historic beauty and roiling underbelly of deceit and danger." (Publishers Weekly)“Multiple Exposure is a terrific, fast-paced mystery featuring a savvy photo-journalist, international intrigue, and the captivating world of D.C. wheeling and dealing. Ellen Crosby’s depiction of our nation’s capital is pitch perfect. Heroine Sophie Medina’s determination to solve the mystery her husband’s disappearance will captivate you from the first pages.” (Allison Leotta author of Speak of the Devil)“Multiple Exposure is a gem of a novel. It's got everything you want from a thriller: Characters you love, a plot that is at once fascinating and startling, and settings that are so real you can smell them. This is Ellen Crosby at her very best!” (John Gilstrap author of High Treason and Damage Control)“After her husband is kidnapped, intrepid photojournalist Sophie Medina finds the focus zoomed in on her personal life. Multiple Exposure kicks off a cracking new series where high society meets high-stakes international intrigue.” (Erin Hart author of The Book of Killowen)"Ellen Crosby has segued from wine to international espionage without missing a beat. Her new book combines old-fashioned deduction with up-to-the-minute spycraft and gives us, in Sophie Medina, a doughty heroine who will be charming readers for years to come." (Louis Bayard author of The School of Night)“Ellen Crosby, author of the popular Virginia wine country mysteries, serves up a potent cocktail of suspense and international intrigue in her newest novel. Multiple Exposure will delight the author's many fans, and draw many new readers into an absorbing world of shadows and deceit.” (Daniel Stashower author of The Hour of Peril: The Secret Plot to Murder Lincoln Before the Civil War)"This one is right up my alley --- Faberge eggs, Russians, and political intrigue --- all of which keeps you absolutely intrigued, ready for the gut punch. Ellen Crosby certainly has a talent for making the conventional wholly unconventional. You're going to enjoy this one." (Steve Berry author of The King's Deception)"A solid thriller." (Booklist)"Fantastic! You are sucked in from the very beginning. With a globe-trotting mystery, a great heroine and a possible international scandal, the story will have you eagerly anticipating the next book." (4.5 stars) (Jennifer Wilson RT Magazine)"Crosby seamlessly blends fact with fiction to establish a fast-paced mystery that is as creative as it is well researched. Readers looking for a lively, alluring mystery teeming with intellectual takeaways that become instant conversation starters will enjoy Multiple Exposure, as well as its spirited female lead, elements of Russian art history and international conspiracy." (BookPage)“Can we say perfect timing? President Obama and Vladimir Putin seem to lurch from one confrontation to the next—Snowden, Syria, the Olympics—reminding us that detente is a thing of the past. Crosby manages to craft a mystery that, in some ways, is a throwback to those Cold War standoffs, yet is perfectly modern incorporating into the plot the battle for the earth’s resources, as well as independence for Russian territories. Along the way we learn Russian history, particularly about those fabulous Fabergé eggs whose workmanship remains a marvel.” (WomanAroundTown.com)

By Halley I don't write many reviews but after thoroughly enjoying this book but seeing the negative review by what appears to be a bitter competitor with too much time on his hands, I had to comment because that post is completely unfair. Like the other reviews, the first chapter is a little slow as you get the backstory but then you are thoroughly engrossed and can't put it down! The detailed descriptions of all of the DC landmarks are a definite plus and I definitely want to learn more about Faberge eggs and the Romanovs now. Great book!
17 of 19 people found the following review helpful. A Good Start to a New Series By Rebecca Hutchison MULTIPLE EXPOSURE is a finely crafted suspense mystery set in London and Washington, DC. The story begins when photojournalist Sophia Medina returns from an out-of-town assignment to find her London home trashed. Blood is splattered all over the place and her CIA operative husband, Nick Canning, is missing. Three months pass, and after unsuccessful searches to find her husband, Sophie prepares to move back to the United States. But days before she leaves, US and UK intelligence reps in London question if she knows anything about Nick. They tell her he's been spotted in Moscow and suggest he may have faked his own kidnapping. One high-ranking British official even implies that Nick may be a murderer and selling important and secretive info to the highest bidder. Sophie refuses to believe that Nick would murder or become a traitor.Once Sophie returns to DC, she gets a job with Focus Photography. Her first gig is a National Gallery of Art exhibit opening of Russian artifacts loaned to the US through Russian oil tycoon Artaky Vasiliev. It's during this event that Sophie becomes part of the mystery surrounding her husband, a possible oil discovery in Abadistan, oil tycoon Vasiliev, and the Russian mafia. Her curiosity and desire to see Nick vindicated then lead her to another mystery involving a US senator and a supporter of Abadistan independence.Conflicts and tension abound in the story. Outward conflicts are fairly obvious: the ongoing search for Sophie's husband, crumbling relations between Abadistan and Russia, a Russian ambassador arguing with a US Senator, among many others. Sophie's internal conflicts are a little more subtle. She doesn't know who to trust, intelligence officials follow her every move, her safety is constantly threatened, and she argues with her boss, family and friends. On page 146, Sophie's thinking about what she admires in her Jesuit priest friend, Jack, and his ability to "...do the right thing, to be true to your values, to act with integrity and compassion for others." She struggles with these ideals throughout the story, trying to do the right thing with highly skeptical information and personal threats thrown at her and bristling at what she needs to do to uncover the truth.MULTIPLE EXPOSURE isn't just an exciting suspense novel, it's also a geography and history lesson of Washington, DC. Crosby shares interesting facts and backstories about many well-known and some obscure landmarks and sites around town. In fact, parts of the story occur in an almost hidden memorial on the Potomac River and in less traveled sections of Rock Creek Park. The reader also gets glimpses of what happens behind-the-scenes during museum exhibit openings and events at historic landmarks (i.e., Majorie Merriweather Post's home, Hillwood).A few British words pop up (i.e., queue" for "line") in the story, but their use is natural for Sophie as she's just returned to the States after living in London for over a decade. Readers who do crossword puzzles may also discover some new Russian terms to help answer tricky clues.I enjoyed MULTIPLE EXPOSURE and had a hard time putting the book down as I neared the end. Once I got through the backstory overload at the beginning and became familiar with Crosby's style of writing, I flew through the rest of the book. It's full of suspense and conflict, and it contains an interesting array of unique characters. I would highly recommend this book to all mystery fans and to readers who just like a good, solid, entertaining story.* An ARC was provided by Simon & Schuster/Scribner Books and Edelweiss for an honest review.** Visit Blue Moon Mystery Saloon blog for more book reviews.
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Multiple Exposure By Sheri Newton Multiple Exposure by Ellen Crosby is the author's first novel in the new "Sophie Medina Mystery" series. The main character is Sophie Medina who is a photojournalist who finds herself in the middle of conspiracies, international politics, and much more.Multiple Exposure is a suspenseful mystery novel that I really enjoyed reading. The author did a really fabulous job with her character crafting, and I absolutely want more from Sophie Medina. Thankfully, this is a new series, so we can continue to read more about her. Her missing husband is also a big part of the story, but his working for the CIA is of course a big part of the political drama that Sophie ends up having to face as well.The backstory to the character, and essentially, the series, is a little bit slow. However, I think that it works out well overall and includes essential information that the reader needs to fully engross themselves in the series. After the backstory melds into the current situations, it moves quickly and is a breeze to read through. The pace is just right, and at least for me, kept me up late to finish.Overall, I really enjoyed this novel. The author writes in a very flowing manner that makes it an easy and fun read. I can't wait to read more from this series, and the author. I definitely recommend it.* Thank you to the publisher of Multiple Exposure, Scribner, for providing me with a copy of this book for review. All opinions expressed are my own.
