Woven into every single page of this delightful novel is Greek-American culture.  Sofie’s family values, her relationships with her relatives, the food they eat, the ways they communicate—all relates to their basic Greek-American heritage.  This spices up the book and gives it a superb texture and flavor. 

On top of the ethnicity is Sofie.  Her insecurities, her life goals, her zaniness, and the nuttiness that seems to follow her life are all laid out for readers to follow.  I especially liked her Jack Russell terrier that she acquired in the first novel.  He plays a pivotal role in this novel. 

I’m sure that Tori Carrington plans on many additional books involving Sofie Metropolis.  Readers are teased from page to page by the hunky and irresistible Jake Porter, introduced in the last book as an Australian bounty hunter.  In this latest offering it seems like Jake is probably more connected to somebody given that he regularly rescues Sofie from numerous tight situations.  She is hot for this guy and he keeps holding her off…..even through his obvious attraction.  This makes for some fine sexual tension.

I think Sofie has found her voice with this second novel and I for one cannot wait to read the third book in the series.  You can’t help but love this endearing young woman as she tries to reconcile her family, her work life, and her love life, while working as a PI.  I guarantee you some hilarious laugh out loud moments as well as some scary ones in this terrific mystery by Tori Carrington.  The recipes at the back of the book look delicious!
