For Astoria P.I. Sofie Metropolis, September is shaping up
to be a memorable month. Six months after discovering her
husband-to-be, Thomas-the-Toad, cheating with her maid of
honor on the day of the wedding, Sofie is annoyed by her
status as an "old maid" in the eyes of her family, but that
doesn't mean she's yearning for a return to her mother's
matchmaking schemes. On the contrary; Sofie is definitely
not interested in getting involved with another Greek man,
especially one who might try to slap a ring on her finger.
But sexy Greek baker Dino Antonopoulos doesn't like to take
no for an answer, and he's working hard to seduce her at
every turn with his disarming smile and luscious desserts.
Sofie's determined to stay strong, but with her current
lust interest, enigmatic Australian bounty hunter Jake
Porter temporarily AWOL, Dino is quickly becoming a tough
dish of hunky male to resist.
Luckily for Sofie, her work at her uncle Spyros's detective
agency is providing the perfect distraction. The NY Mets
are charging toward the World Series, led by charismatic
switch-pitcher Reni Venezuela, but Gisela Venezuela, Reni's
wife, thinks something is wrong with her husband, and she
wants Sofie to investigate. Sofie's convinced that it's
just another routine cheating spouse case, but cheating
isn't what worries Gisela; she claims that the man living
in her house is acting like a stranger wearing a Reni suit.
As Sofie digs deeper into Reni's past, the questions keep
mounting. The man she's following looks like Reni and
pitches like Reni, but her gut keeps telling her there's
more to the situation than a little marital discord. Even
worse, if Gisela is right, and the current Reni is an
imposter, where is the real Reni?
FOUL PLAY, the third installment of the Sofie Metropolis
series, is an entertaining romp with the smart-mouthed
P.I.. The writing team of Lori and Tony Karayianni have
created an intelligent and resourceful heroine that you
can't help rooting for, and the supporting cast is
delightful, adding both humor and depth to the story. Dino
is mouthwatering as Sofie's new love interest, and I loved
listening to Sofie's internal battle between what her mind
wants and what her body demands. This book is sure to
inspire both laughter and hunger pangs. Fans of the
previous two Sofie Metropolis mysteries will not want to
miss FOUL PLAY.
In Foul Play, Sofie’s searching for a couple of hot
prospects, one in her personal life and one professionally.
The New York Mets might just be on their way to the World
Series, but their newly signed pitching phenom has
disappeared with the playoffs fast approaching.
As for her personal life, Sofie’s hooking up with a
gorgeous Greek who is every bit as hunky as her long-time
crush, Australian mystery man Jake Porter-—and a lot more
available.
