According to the KOAT publication, “An Indigenous author from New Mexico, just released her latest book. It’s called, “Exposure” and it follows her widely acclaimed book, “Shutter.” Ramona Emerson recently read to a packed room at Albuquerque’s Bookworks.

Her fans were hanging on her every word, eager to find out if her newest book will have the same blend of mystery, cultural depth, and gore as her first. It does.

“I didn’t know I had gone so dark, but early readers have told me that it’s very creepy,” Emerson said.

“Exposure” follows Emerson’s widely acclaimed, “Shutter,” which was published a few years ago and was long-listed for a National Book award in fiction.

In “Shutter,” readers became enamored with the main character, Rita, who is a Diné APD crime scene photographer. The victims Rita shows up to take pictures of start talking to her.
Now fans are devouring “Exposure” where Rita is again trying to solve a mystery, this time in Gallup.

“Well, definitely they’re going to be surprised by the serial killer.”
