Multiple Exposure (Sophie Medina Novels, #1)

by Ellen Crosby

[Whitney @ First Impressions Reviews]

I have always had an interest in the Romanovs, with the background of a revolution equipped with royalty, illness, betrayal and murder topped with a bit of mystery, it catches one's eye. Thus, when I saw the mention of the Romanovs (mainly of the Tsaritsa's Faberge egg collection) in Multiple Exposure I was intrigued all the more. While in the big scheme of things it played little consequence but it was what first grasped my attention.

Sophie was not as mystic as Anastasia but rather a multi-layered cake, with every bit of frosting as sweet as the last. From the beginning the reader is aware that Sophie Medina is one smart cookie, not buying for a minute that her husband was dead and going with her gut and following through when most would turn back. This is mainly shown through her wanting of justice for her deceased co-worker and insistence that those at the Fabrerge exhibit were not what met the eye.

There were moments of predictability, particularly at the beginning. Although, the further I went into Multiple Exposure the more developed both the plot and characters became. It was almost as if a car had gotten its oil change and was ready to hit the road again. Despite the beginning's predictability the conclusion came out of nowhere leaving me awed as if I were at a firework's display.

Sophie Medina is a force to be reckoned with and I think Ellen Crosby's novel is the start of a wonderful series.

I received a readers copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review
