Wow. Have I been MIA or what!? I’ve continuously been reading, but haven’t been taking the time to write up my thoughts on a bunch of books. So my goal tonight is to schedule a bunch of posts…here’s hoping I follow through.
This post focuses on the novel, “Exposed,” by Laura Griffin. It is book 7 in the Tracers series. Exposed centers on Maddie Callahan, a forensic photographer from the Delphi Center, and Brian Beckman of the FBI.
You see, Maddie doesn’t only take photographs of crime scenes. She also has a side hustle doing photography for weddings. After one of her drawn out engagement photo shoots Maddie is attacked. When she was going over the crime with the police afterwards she assumed it was just another random mugging. However, Brian quickly figured out the attackers were after the camera, not Maddie or her belongings that were tossed away nearby.
Brian thinks the crime sounds familiar to a string of crime he’s been tracking for the past decade. As multiple attempts are made to steal the camera from Maddie, Brian gets closer to her, and gets to know her. He falls hard for her, but Maddie continuously rejects him because of her past history of a broken marriage because of a lost child. But as usual in this series, the characters can only say no for so long before they finally break down to their inner desires. Brian helps Maddie come to terms with the losses that she has experienced, while also solving the crime.
Overall this was an interesting read, and I enjoyed reading about the background stories of the two characters. I felt like they weren’t your average lead characters that you typically read about.
