Customer Reviews

Awesome, Clever, Witty, and Fun

This book was an adventure from start to finish. Sophie, the main character, is a cool person with a cool life. She is witty and smart. She and her cat live in her apartment in San Fransisco. Sophie has a sister, Leah, and a nephew, Jack. There are murder(s), but I will not say who, because I don't want to ruin it. But I will say that Sophie and Leah and Anatoly (Sophie's friend) are determined to solve the mystery. And solving the mystery takes you on some very interesting adventures. There are several important things that happen, and they all tie in together. The book is hard to put down. The characters are so well developed, you feel like you know them personally. I don't want to say anything more, as to not ruin the book. But I will tell you that Sophie is clever and spunky. And she likes frappucinos. And I will tell you that this book is fantastic. The whole book is good, and the ending is satisfying. I ended the book thinking 'this book was fulfilling and clever'.

Passion, Betrayal, & Killer Highlights

I really did enjoy reading Kyra Davis's second installment to the Sophie crime drama. Miss Davis has great writing skills, not to keep you bored. I would recommend the reading of this book.

A Fun, Fast Read!!!!

Great author! She ties in fun characters, great plots and plenty of laugh out loud humor! I can't wait for her next novel!

A Real Highlight!

I also read the first Sophie Katz mystery and enjoyed it, but it didn't hold a candle to the sequel. I just LOVED the plot, the characters and Sophie's never-ending sarcasm. The murdered, philandering husband aspect kept me rapt and sympathetic to Leah, while always wondering if she was in fact the murderer. I felt it was better-written and less forced than "Sex, Murder and a Double Latte." Davis is really coming into her own and nailing down her charming personal style. Can't wait for the next one!

Number Two is a Winner

I read Kyra Davis' first book, Sex, Murder, and a Double Latte and thought it was great fun, but I have to say her second outing with her irreverent protagonist, Sophie Katz, is even more of a delight. Sophie's neurotic, but delightful sister, Leah, takes a leading role in this one (she made a briefer appearance in the first) and she and her slightly demonic toddler, Jack, add a lot to the narrative. Anyway I devoured Passion, Betrayal and Killer Highlights quickly. It was a tasty treat.
