The Sophie Medina series by Ellen Crosby features a photojournalist based in Washington, D.C. who finds herself entangled in dangerous situations through her work. The series began with Multiple Exposure (2013) and continued with Ghost Image (2015), followed by a gap before Blow Up (2023) and Dodge and Burn (2024) revived the series.
Each title uses a photography term as a pun, reflecting both Sophie’s profession and the mystery at hand. The D.C. setting brings political intrigue and institutional secrets into the mix, giving these books a harder edge than Crosby’s cozy Virginia wine mysteries. Readers who enjoy amateur sleuth mysteries with a professional twist will find Sophie Medina a compelling lead.
