Passion, Betrayal, and Killer Highlights

By: Kyra Davis

Narrated by: Gabra Zackman

Length: 9 hrs and 39 mins

Publisher's summary

Sophie Katz has just offered a man $12,000 for his services. Is she desperate or just meshugeneh?

Considering the kind of disasters that usually befall the half-black, half-Jewish mystery writer, probably both. Because the last time Sophie saw sexy P.I. Anatoly Darinsky, he practically danced a jig when she waved goodbye; a normal reaction for a man who'd nearly bought the farm trying to protect her from her own foolishness. What are the chances he'd agree to take incriminating pictures of her sister's philandering husband? Or that he'd let her tag along, you know, for research?

But when her brother-in-law turns up dead and her sister becomes the prime suspect, Sophie's priority is finding the real killer. With or without Anatoly's help. Her brother-in-law's secret life yields plenty of suspects, but the San Francisco police aren't taking any of them seriously. So Sophie does what comes naturally to her: she stirs up trouble (to lure the killer out, of course).

But if her crazy plan works, will Anatoly be there to protect her this time?

Solve another case with Sophie Katz.

Critic reviews

"Following hard on the red spike heels of 2005's Sex, Murder, and a Double Latte, Davis' second whodunit delivers on the promise of the first....Davis chooses style over substance, skillfully keeping the snappy dialogue funny all the way to the unsurprising surprise ending." (Publishers Weekly)

Love the characters

A fun read with some laugh out loud moments. Zany characters and a decent reader keep the book rolling along at an interesting clip. This is the second Kyra Davis book I have listen to and will be looking forward to any up coming books from her.

fun listen

This was a great listen. I laughed out loud and it kept my interest from beginning to end. There wasn't any boring moments. Kyra Davis has become one of my favorite authors.

Clever Characters and Terrific Narration

Every now and then a narrator comes along that grabs you instantly and sucks you into the story. Gabra Zackman is pitch perfect in her portrayal of each of these unique characters and makes the story come to life on audio.

Fun and Light!

Sometimes this is just what you need, nothing heavy, a story enough to be interesting and the narration easy on the ears....just right!

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.

Hooked!

This book hooked me for the entire series. Within a month I had listened to the whole Sophie Katz series on Audible. The narrator does an awesome job of differentiating between different characters. I would recommend this series to anyone that loves the Stephanie Plum series. I can’t wait until the next book!

I still like Sophie

Although the mystery was easier to solve, the why of it was different for me. Sophie isn't much different than in the first book of the series, but the character of her sister is fleshed out, and there is some character growth with her. Also, the development of Sophie and Anatoly's relationship is clearer. Not enough sex, but maybe that's because it's a Harlequin.

Passion Betrayal

DO not listen to = these women suck -- jdrobb --eve dallas series - better women that count!! wimpy gross women of no char in this series

boring

could not even finish it.... stupid storyline, drawn out, Gabra Zackman voice was pitful to say the least...do not waste your money...sorry

Too stupid for me.

Just too stupid. The narrator did a good job with the Russian and Yiddish accents, but everyone else sounded like they were from New Jersey and it was supposed to take place in San Francisco.
