Lust, Loathing and a Little Lip Gloss

By: Kyra Davis

Narrated by: Gabra Zackman

Length: 10 hrs and 27 mins

Publisher's summary

Mystery writer and dabbling recreational sleuth Sophie Katz is head over heels in love - with a three-bedroom Victorian. She's just got to have it, despite a few drawbacks. Her slimy ex is the realtor. The rich, creepy seller wants her to join San Francisco's spirited Specter Society. And her first tour of the house reveals, well, a lifeless body clutching a cameo with a disturbing history of its own.

There's no way Sophie is going to give up the ghost on her dreams of stained glass and original woodwork, though--even when things become officially weird. A Society member is found with a slashed throat, and Sophie's house might as well be yelling, "GET...OUT!" She's hearing footsteps, lights are turning themselves off and her stuff keeps moving inexplicably. To top it off, boyfriend Anatoly thinks it's all in her head.

Sophie is 99 percent sure her problems are caused by someone six feet tall instead of six feet under, but the only way to be sure is to track down the killer - before he pushes her kicking and screaming to the other side.

Solve another case with Sophie.

They are all nuts

Ms Davis is very good at coming up with oddball characters. A bit over the top, but I guess that's what makes them fun. The narrator is good, but there seemed to be a few times she got bored.

Lots of fun

I don't think even Kyra Davis could object to me pointing out that this is not the sort of great literature that will change your life, your mind or your day. But it's not supposed to be. It's literary cake. Pure sugary fun. A bit of love, a bit of romance and a lot of action.

For a good time call Sophie!

A little jaded with a side of lip gloss

Overall an enjoyable excursion on the West Coast. Sophie's somewhat clueless and definitely lacking in relationship savvy but nevertheless an interesting character.

Good book but I was annoyed.

Sophie really aggravated me in this book. All in all, I liked the book, mostly for the other characters, I could have enjoyed this book without Sophie this time.

Passion, Loving and a Lot of Fun

This was the best Sophie Katz yet. I didn't think they could get any better but they did. My friends and I are into supernatural and paranormal so I could relate to this one the most.

Now that I have finished all of the Sophie Katz novels that Krya has written so far, I just hope she keeps writing these for many years to come.

She really makes my long commute to work just fly by.

Another great book set in San Francisco!

Another good one

If you could sum up Lust, Loathing and a Little Lip Gloss in three words, what would they be?

I have enjoyed all the Kyra Davis series. A little humor, a little love, and some mystery. All ways a good listening pleasure.

I love this series!

This series is amazing. I love mystery books, and this series just takes that love so much further.

Not all that interesting

This is my first and will be my last of this series. I just couldn't warm to the main character and found little charm in the story (which seemed forced) but I did laugh occasionally.

Fun Listen

I have swore to myself I will not critize any narrator of purchased books. I so appreciate the work they do. This is fun book. I felt the storyline captured you. For some reason I just had trouble getting through it. I really like the ending.
