Dr. Saylor Oz does not believe her best friend Gwen, who's
found dead in the river, committed suicide without her
having seen the signs. They'd been friends since childhood,
protecting each other when no one else would. They knew
everything about each other. Now, Saylor's roommate is
starting to have the same thoughts, especially since their
lives are becoming more dangerous by the minute.
Saylor knew Gwen felt borderline paranoid about her work,
so she always respected her privacy. She understood that as
soon as Gwen felt comfortable, she'd fill in the details.
She was getting excited about a project she was working on,
and now she's gone. All Saylor has to work with to discover
what's going on is a cryptic poem and her own instincts.
Can she solve the mystery before her time runs out?
This book is full of action and mystery with a touch of
local and ancient history. A very interesting read.
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.
