Sophie Metropolis, the newest PI to hit the streets of Astoria, Queens, is learning all she can about the detective business working at her Uncle Spyros' agency. Her latest nail biting case involves serving papers to a man who's a master when it comes to avoiding getting serviced. When a local dry cleaner everyone affectionately calls Uncle Tolly goes missing, Sophie's mother informs her that not only is it suspected that the mob is behind the disappearance, but Sophie's mom has also offered up Sophie's services to the missing man's wife.

As far as Sophie's concerned, there is no mob. That is until she finds a double set of books at the dry cleaners and gets told to back off by the very handsome Tony Dipiazzo. When not running from Tony's thugs, Sophie's busy huntinng for Fred, the missing ferret of a wheelchair bound girl, looking to find proof that a man who filed a disability claim is actually faking it and trying to figure out sexy Australian Jake Porter. He doesn't seem to pick up on Sophie's not so subtle hints but he manages to always be there when she needs him most. If that weren't enough, Sophie's mother is convinced that her father is having an affair so she put Sophie on that case too. When a late night rendezvous with an informant lands her in cement shoes, literally, Sophie knows it's way past time for her to sink or swim on this case.

DIRTY LAUNDRY is the type of book that will appeal to everyone. It has danger, excitement, humor and a zany supporting cast that'll keep you entertained. The second book in the Sophie Metropolis series, this one's a definite don't miss. I haven't had the pleasure of reading the first book in this series but having read DIRTY LAUNDRY, I can't wait to get my hands on it. Sophie is a riot and her family's just as crazy. Jake Porter is such a mystery man that you can't help but want to know more about him. I loved every page of this story and can't wait for the next installment.
