Obsession, Deceit, and Really Dark Chocolate

By: Kyra Davis

Narrated by: Gabra Zackman

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.

Critic reviews

"One of Cosmopolitan's 'Sizzling Page-turners'." ( Cosmopolitan Magazine)

Loved this book!

This is the third book Kyra Davis has done as a series to the adventures of Sophie Kates, the main character. I would suggest reading her first two books to fully enjoy this one. Just wished I had an Anatolli of my own. :)

These books are growing on me

I have to be honest, even though these books have their flaws, I got one when Audible had the $4.95 series special. Since then I haven't even waited for my credits, I've bought them all. The author and the narrator are really growing on me and I hope I see a new book in this series soon.

Kinky sex and politics

I can usually figure out who did it before the author tells me. This book was different. There were too many suspects. Davis manages them well for a very good funny and suspenseful book. The book has political overtones but I they are not distracting. They keep in line with the plot of the book. Her first book in this series was the absolute best so far but this is a close second. I am off to read the next one.

Fantastic Series

I always look forward to the Sophie Katz series. These are such fun stories! Great characters, all with different personalities that make you love them, or want to strangle them. Hilarious situations when they come together, and often clash with each other. I love everything about these books. I can't wait til the next one comes out!

I love her!!

I came across this author in Audible Escapes. I've been missing so much!! The star character is hilarious and seems to always find trouble. This is the second book I've read of her and will definitely read more.

Chocolate & fluffy animals don’t necessarily mean it’s Easter.

In this humorous writing about political greed, fluffy sexual fetishes, chocolate, coffee , and romance it is reassuring that romance and chocolate come out on top.

Amazing as usual

I love Sophie Katz and I love Kyra Davis writing her. The story was as amazing as the other books before. There were so many parts were I laughed out loud. I highly recommend this series to anyone looking for an truly enjoyable listen, great mystery that will also leave in stiches, read by a great narrator - Gabrz Zackman.

Comical and light

Love the reference to the Bay Area. This is such a funny story and the narrator is great.

I liked it.

I'm not really sure why this book is in the romance section, it's definitely more of a cozy than romance. I enjoyed listening to the story, the narrator is very good, but the character's choices are sometimes cringeworthy. I'd definitely listen to the next book if it's in the Romance package (ie - no extra cost), but I wouldn't pay full price for the next installment. #itwasok #cozy #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

A fun listen

If you're looking for pure entertainment this is a great listen. It's a fun story with a little bit of everything; friendship, romance, drama all set against the backdrop of a murder mystery.
