Publisher Description
Sofie’s a young Greek-American woman living in Queens. If you’d asked her a few months ago what she’d be doing now, she’d have replied, “I’m going to be married to a wonderful guy and working at my father’s, or maybe my grandfather’s, Greek restaurant.” That was before Sofie caught the groom in a compromising position with her maid of honor just before the wedding. Before she punched the priest who tried to get her to marry the cad anyway. Before she chucked her engagement ring into the garbage disposal. Before she became a junior detective for her uncle’s detective agency.
Now Sofie’s searching for a runaway wife possibly wanted by the FBI and for a vicious neighborhood mutt. And she’s got the hots for Jake Porter, Australian mystery man that Sofie suspects is either a bounty hunter or a federal agent.

"This is very much My Big, Fat, Greek ripoff of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels, but it is a cute story with likable characters. I don't know if I will read the next one, but this is a quick chick lit read."
— Sheri (4 out of 5 stars)

Sofie Metropolis Listener Reviews

" Tori is a good writer but here is more to Tori Carrington then just her writing. "
— Dan, 2/20/2014 -
" Complete trash. I was backpacking & had finished the only other book we had with us. Cover says it's like a Stephanie Plum book - NOT! This isn't even comparable to Evanovich's lame motor series. What a waste of time, and lots of holes in the plot - save yourself, and your time for anything else... "
— Maureen, 2/14/2014 -
" Did not like, one of the few books that I wish I had just given up with and not finished. It wasn't just that it was a horrible imitation of Evanovich's Plum series, it was like the book had a split personality. Which could be attributed to the fact that its author, Tori Carrington, is actually a husband and wife team, Lori & Tony Karayianni. From reviews I've read, the series may actually get better, but I'm not willing to risk wasting anymore of my time. "
— Stephanie, 2/10/2014 -
" A fun mystery, especially if you like Greek food. Unfortunately for me I don't, so I started skipping over some of the descriptions of Greek food. "
— Sonia, 1/14/2014 -
" This was a fun read and one I am reading again just to lighten up my week. "
— Juanita, 1/13/2014 -
" Unfortunately not good enough to warrant reading the rest of the series. "
— Sharon, 1/10/2014 -
" Terrible rip off of the Stephanie Plum series. I did not finish it. "
— Michele, 10/30/2013 -
" I love Sophie! I would think something aboands situation and Sophie would think the same thing. Fun story with a little mystery and a little romance. "
— Emily, 9/18/2013 -
" This was a quick read so I finished it, but I didn't think it was that good. The writing was immature and too wordy for me. I did love all the Greek references though! "
— Dona, 9/17/2013 -
" Just not good enough. "
— Miss, 9/2/2013 -
" quick and easy -- entertaining "
— Bethany, 7/27/2013 -
" It was a light read. I enjoyed the witty humor. Story line was good. I will read the next one. "
— Lalalaura, 5/27/2013 -
" I've read the first three books and liked them. They're kinda like the Janet Evanovich ones but different enough that it doesn't matter if they're a little similar. "
— Kristin, 1/15/2013 -
" Okay. It tried to be Stephanie Plum and didn't really succeed. I found that I enjoyed and laughed more when I read the Plum books. "
— Christiana, 11/16/2012 -
" It's the Greek version of Stephanie Plum. Think My Big Fat Greek wedding meets Janet Evanovich. Lots of bumbling PI work and funny situations. "
— Jessica, 7/30/2012 -
" Entertaining! Funny and sexy. The reader did awesome accents and voices, which definitely adds to the experience. Will check out the rest of the series! "
— Iris, 7/1/2012 -
" I enjoyed this book, but it is a bit too much of an Evanovich rip-off. "
— Karen, 5/29/2012 -
" Think of it as a watered-down, "lite" version of a Stephanie Plum novel. Eh. "
— Laura, 5/21/2012 -
" Funny new mystery - reminds me of Stephanie Plum. Quick read "
— Joy, 3/29/2012 -
" quite hilarious..easy reading yet fun.. "
— Anggun, 3/18/2012 -
" What a fun mystery! Similar to Evanovich's style, but with Greek instead of Italian characters. And the Carrington's make the best baklava I've ever had. "
— Don's, 2/21/2012 -
" i thought the story was ok, but i didn't care for the writing at all. "
— Shannon, 2/20/2012 -
" Cute. If you like Janet Evanovich's Plum series, check this out. Greek girl in NY. PI (in training), instead of Bonds bailman. Not quite as funny, but I still laughed in places. "
— Jeanne, 2/3/2012 -
" Absolutely loved this book. Something a little different from the normal romance/mystery. "
— Martha, 1/6/2012 -
" A light, funny read that channels "my Big Fat Greek Wedding"--sometimes a little too closely. But Sophie is fun, feisty private eye I would like to spend more time with. I will probably read the sequels. "
— Cindi, 12/2/2011 -
" Almost like Stephanie Plum and My Big Fat Greek Wedding had a racist baby. "
— Kara, 9/6/2011 -
" It's in a genre I've been reading lately...single girl detective/PI's/ bounty hunters. I guess the most disappointing thing is it's like an Evanovich novel, only she's Greek-American and a PI instead of a bounty hunter. They borrowed heavily from Evanovich, but they are entertaining nonetheless. "
— Lisa, 8/29/2011 -
" Enjoyed listening to this one on my ipod. "
— Zelda, 7/19/2011 -
" I thought that maybe this series would wrap up in 3, but I guess there is room for 1 more, or more... "
— Bethany, 12/10/2010 -
" With the meaningless bed-hopping and drug use, this series just lost a reader. "
— Cindi, 9/8/2010 -
" ok. fun quick read with lots of greek bits and bites. "
— Ruth, 5/26/2010 -
" This one was good- you have to cheer for Sofie as she learns to play the field. "
— Carrie, 3/24/2009
