Product Description:
Sofie Metropolis’s PI business is so successful at finding missing spouses and lost pets and at proving insurance fraud that she’s hired new staff, including her (formerly) layabout cousin.
There are two men in Sofie’s life: sexy Greek baker Dino, who found a place in her heart—and bed—in Foul Play, and man-of-mystery Jake Porter, whose Australian accent is guaranteed to turn Sofie’s knees to water.
The week before Halloween, a body disappears from Sofie’s Aunt’s funeral home. It might be a holiday prank, but Sofie’s barely begun to investigate when she’s handed a truly hot case: prove the innocence of someone already on trial for murder!

- The other reviewers state it well
I had to force my way through this one. As a man, I found that the backgrounds of the authors (20 novels) had a heavy "romance novel" background. They have made a credible effort to get into the private investigator procedural, and hopefully, will continue to refine their skills at this genre.

The female perspective should not be discounted, but the authors (Lori and Tony ... Read More
Rating: - WHERE IS SOPHIE?
Not the ususal Sophie we have come to love, she is evolving but I'm not sure if I like this new Sophie. I was disappointed in the book. After looking forward to reading it I wasn't happy with it at all.

- Last Sofie Metropolis book for me
I am a Greek American woman. When I see there is a book or a character that I can relate to, I am delighted to support and enjoy.
The Sofie Metropolis series has been a roller coster ride for me. A Greek girl from Astoria Queens who stands on her own feet making a living as a PI (in training) makes for a great premise. Add the Greek factor - Astoria is as Greek a place as you can get this side of the Atlantic - well, it is a premise for a lot of fun...except...this series has been a Stephanie ... Read More
Rating: - Nancy Drew meets Bridget Jones meets Mike Hammer meets Muffy
As soon as I opened the covers of my advanced review copy of Working Stiff, fourth in the Sofie Metropolis detective series by husband and wife writing team, Lori and Tony Karayianni as the combo name Tori Carrington, I was reminded of those long ago days of reading Nancy Drew mysteries by Carolyne Keene. I was, fair to say, obsessed with sharp and sassy girl-detective Nancy Drew as a young girl. Gee, that was long ago. I'm not sure why, but I have steered clear of mysteries ever since. Go figure.
