Sex, Murder and a Double Latte by Kyra Davis

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.

Because the last time Sophie saw sexy P.I. Sophie Katz has just offered a man $12,000 for his services Is she desperate or just meshugeneh?Ĭonsidering the kind of disasters that usually befall the half black, half Jewish mystery writer, probably both. Of course, if this were fiction, Anatoly would be her prime suspect… The man who swoops in to save her in dark alleys is mysterious new love interest Anatoly Darinsky. Cursing her grisly imagination why, oh, why did she have to pick the ax?, Sophie engages in some real life gumshoe tactics.

If she doesn’t solve the mystery, her own bestseller will spell out her doom. When a filmmaker friend is brutally murdered in the manner of a death scene in one of his movies, Sophie becomes convinced that a copycat killer is on the loose and that she’s the next target. The police, however, can’t tell a good plot from an unmarked grave. So Sophie knows it’s not paranoia or post divorce, living alone again jitters, when she becomes convinced that a crazed reader is sneaking into her apartment to reenact scenes from her books. Thriller scribe Sophie Katz is as hard boiled as a woman who drinks Grande Caramel Brownie Frappuccinos can be. When a mystery writer cries bloody murder, everyone blames her overactive imagination…
