Praise for the Sophie Katz novels of
KYRA DAVIS
Sex, Murder and a Double Latte
“Packs a bigger jolt than a Venti latte at Starbucks.”
—Cosmopolitan
“A terrific mystery. Kyra Davis comes up with the right mix of snappy and spine-tingling.”
—Detroit Free Press
“A thoroughly readable romp.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Blending elements of steamy romance and hard-boiled mystery, this delightfully witty amalgam of chick lit and amateur sleuth mystery (featuring lovable, caffeine-addicted protagonist Sophie Katz)…[is] one of the most impressive genre debuts to come along in years!”
—Barnes & Noble
Passion, Betrayal and Killer Highlights
An Ebony magazine Noted Book
“[A] high-octane hookup.”
—Cosmopolitan [a Red Hot Read]
“Lively writing, action-packed plot and keen character development.”
—Santa Cruz Sentinel
“The perfect summer read…Davis constructs some broad sweeping social commentary in this book…bundled up amongst—what else—murder, fashion and frappuccinos.”
—The GoodTimes
Obsession, Deceit and Really Dark Chocolate
“Wry sociopolitical commentary, the playful romantic negotiations between Anatoly and Sophie and plenty of Starbucks coffee keep this steamy series chugging along.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Pulls readers in at the beginning…[and] Davis’ inclusion of the crazy sexual fetish ‘furries’ is an interesting twist.”
—RT Book Reviews
“Just the right amount of snazzy dialogue and intriguing imagery, making the reader think they are right there looking over Sophie’s shoulder. Once you start reading this entertaining tale, you won’t want to stop until you find out the ‘whodunit’ and the ‘why did they’ of the murder.”
—Romance Reviews Today
Lust, Loathing and a Little Lip Gloss
“A fresh approach to sleuthing.”
—Library Journal
“Humor, romance and an appealing, spirited protagonist…an entertaining read.”
—Publishers Weekly
“A cast of quirky, wonderful characters, a well-crafted plot and a generous helping of snarky humor make this one a winner. Sophie’s sassy first-person narration is a bonus—she’s one of a kind.”
—RT Book Reviews
