Sofie Metropolis is a private investigator - or at least that’s what’s written on her business card. She joined her Uncle Spyros’s detective agency shortly after dumping her fiancé, who decided that Sofie wouldn’t mind if he had quicky with the maid of honor at the church shortly before the start of the wedding. Now Sofie takes pictures of cheating spouses and finds missing pets. Yet when the latest cheating spouse case lands on her desk, Sofie finds herself assulted for taking pictures, chased by the FBI when the spouse turned up missing and targeted by a killer. Fortunately, a mysterious Australian pops up just in time to save her body and to steal her heart.
Ten pages into this book, you’ll realize that Sofie Metropolis is a Greek version of Stephanie Plum. It’s written in first person and chock full of details of life as part of a Greek family. The start of the book is a little rough, but by the end you’ll realize that the Karayiannis have created their own unique set of characters and merged them into a great story. I’m looking forward to reading the next novel about Sofie.
Details: TOR, June 2005
Bottom line: A great book
