Passion, Betrayal, and Killer Highlights

By: Kyra Davis

Narrated by: Gabra Zackman

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?

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)

loved this story!

I really enjoyed learning more about Sophie and her family. There are arts in this book I will always remember and can kind of relate to. I will be listening to more of these when I get a chance.

4.5 stars

Entertaining and great performance, but sometimes the main character does something so stupid that, though I laugh, I have to remove half a star.

sophie Katz is my new hero!

This is my 2nd book that I have read in the series. I love this character and every one else in the story. Kyra Davis Has a special way to tell a story that keeps you engaged, has sexual tension, and most of all makes you laugh out loud.

Bravery and stupidity

They say it’s a fine line between bravery and stupidity and Sophie Katz walks that line. Not sure why I find her funny and not annoying, but there it is.
