Synopsis:


A mother’s love. A son’s life snuffed out. A killer at large. Snapshots of reality, except sometimes layered images do not add up to a whole picture of the truth.

Better than anyone, photographer Rachel Carson knows the camera can lie. That’s how lurid altered pictures of her appeared on the Internet, starting a downward spiral that ended with her shooting a nineteen-year-old stalker in self-defense. Fleeing the press and the threats of an unidentified female caller, she retreats to her remote hometown in the Texas desert. In Marfa, where mysterious lights hover in the night sky, folks are used to the unexplainable, and a person’s secrets are off limits. But recluse Zeke Pike takes that philosophy even further than Rachel herself. In her viewfinder Zeke’s male sensuality is highlighted, his unexpressed longing for human contact revealed. Through a soft-focus lens, she sees a future for them beyond their red-hot affair, never guessing their relationship will expose the lovers to more danger than either can imagine.

 

SRR GRADE:  A+
 

Rachel Copeland has returned to her childhood hometown of Marfa, Texas after being acquitted of murder for shooting a stalker. She’s still being hounded by threats from a mysterious woman’s calls and dealing with the guilt of killing the young man. Zeke Pike has his own secrets. On the run from his past he can’t afford the attention falling for Rachel causes.

Triple Exposure is not a book to read if you are looking for something light, however if you love unraveling mysteries you don’t want to miss it. Colleen Thompson skillfully weaves the mysteries, lies and hurts of the citizens of Marfa, Texas. The reader is kept guessing as the clues slowly fall into place and like all great mystery writers Ms. Thompson leads the reader down a few false trails. The book is a slow starter, but little by little the story wraps the reader in the age old: Who? What? Where? Why? The must do, for any mystery or romantic suspense, is keep the reader on the edge of their seat, Triple Exposure delivers.
