Former stand-up comic Allyson Roy debuts with a sharp and
witty voice in Aphrodisiac, a hugely entertaining
debut thriller set in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Something about Gwen Applebee’s death doesn’t add up. Sex
therapist Saylor Oz knows for certain that late
perfume-maker and fashionista extraordinaire wouldn’t have
been caught dead wearing a fanny pack. So why was there one
strapped around Gwen’s waist when her body was discovered?
Not to mention the coded message embedded in her “suicide
note.” It seems Gwen stumbled upon an ancient formula with
great powers, and someone was willing to kill for it.
Unfortunately for Saylor, the villain did not get his hands
on the formula—but in his quest he does get his hands on
Saylor. Now she and her tough-talking best friend have less
than one week to figure out where Gwen hid the formula.
Between patients, parties, and an escalating flirtation with
a hot local boxer, Saylor’s desperate hunt leads her from
the dark corners of Brooklyn and the glittering skyscrapers
of Manhattan to the beaches of the Hamptons—all while she
tries to stay one step ahead of a ruthless killer.
With a dazzling combination of suspense, romance, and a
wonderful laugh-out-loud sense of humor, Aphrodisiac
will appeal to fans of Janet Evanovich, Jennifer
Crusie, and Christina Dodd.
