GCC Tour: Kyra Davis

Need something to read in the next 18 days before your Secret Society Girl cravings are satiated?

How about a chick lit mystery set in sultry San Fransisco? That’s right, mystery writer and amateur sleuth Sophie Katz is back in Kyra Davis’s newest release: Passion, Betrayal, and Killer Highlights.

Confession: I somehow missed out on Double Latte when it came out (I might have still been in shock from my book sale) so I’m a bit behind on the storyline. Sigh, another thing to put on the list for when I’m done with SSG2.

Sophie Katz has just offered a man $12,000 for his services…is she desperate of 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 due to her misguided attempts at vigilante justice. 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 everybody survive the outcome?

In the rollicking follow-up to Sex, Murder And A Double Latte, Sophie hones her irreverent humor and sleuthing skills to a sharp edge.

And, it’s a Cosmo Read. Congrats, Kyra!
