Length: 9 hrs and 34 mins

Publisher's summary

Sophie Katz's relationship with the irresistible and occasionally insufferable P.I. Anatoly Darinsky is on the fritz when a friend recruits Sophie's investigation skills to decode her possibly two-timing husband's strange behavior. When Sophie shows up in a short, red cocktail dress and her friend's hubby winds up dead, the loveable would-be sleuth can't help but take on the job.

Suddenly plunged into a crazy world of campaign mudslinging, dirt-digging, and cover-ups, Sophie begins to uncover some pretty dirty secrets indeed, involving a conservative congressional hopeful's involvement in the Furry community, a group of people who dress up in mascot-size stuffed animal costumes. Sex and politics, wouldn't you know?

Way in over her head as usual, Sophie reluctantly, or not-so-reluctantly, enlists the help of her two-time sidekick and ex, Anatoly. Together they set out to determine who killed Eugene and why, and in the process can't resist falling for each other...again?

Solve another case with Sophie.

Another winner

Kyra Davis has crafted an excellent storyline. Her characters are well developed and the story is interesting and unlike any others I have read/listened to so far. Gabra Zackman not only gives a wonderful performance, but becomes part of the story itself. I highly recommend this book/audiobook to cozy mystery fans.

Very Unpredictable

To many characters that I found it hard to remember who they were sometimes. I'm still not sure who the third person was in the room with Fitz. It was a good book but book 1& 2 were better to me.

this is such a cute series

i have really enjoyed these books i can't wait to start the next one. the are so well written.

Kyra Davis is hilarious

I enjoy reading crime and romance. Kyra Davis combines the two perfectly. Her Sophie Katz series and entertaining and easy to follow.

What fun

Murder, politics, furries, a writer and her friends and lover mix together in this fun mystery!

Humor is missing.

Sofie Katz had a lot going for her series in the first book and the second was not far behind. Although this book was not a complete flop it was defiently missing the spark from her first two books. I might or might not finish the series because I loved the first two and this one I was just glad it was over when I finished. If the next books come on sale probably would get them other wise i will continue on.

Kind of ridiculous

No further growth in Sophie's character. Although there are some laughs, the premise is kind of goofy. There was some further character development of Maryann, but she's still a bit shallow.

Great new talent

Kyra Davis' characters in the Sophie Katz series are hysterical! I liken the series to Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum adventures. However, where Evanovich's tales have grown stale, and her characters one dimensional, Kyra Davis' tale seem fresh and funny. I can't wait to see more from her!

More of the same

Very similar to earlier books. Well paced, good dialogue. Lots of jabs at politicians of both sides.

I loved it.

I love the character's in this book. Sophie and her friends are great. There are so many parts that make me laugh out loud. The killer is never who you think it is. Great to listen to.
