Resumen del Editor

When a mystery writer cries bloody murder, everyone blames her overactive imagination.

Thriller scribe Sophie Katz is as hard-boiled as a woman who drinks Grande Caramel Brownie Frappuccionos can be; maybe it's from a lifetime of fielding dumb comments about her half-black, half-Jewish ethnicity. ("My sister's married to a Polynesian! I just love your culture!") So Sophie knows it's not paranoia, or post-divorce, living-alone-again jitters, when she becomes convinced that a crazed reader is sneaking into her apartment to reenact scenes from her books. The police, however, can't tell a good plot from an unmarked grave.

When a filmmaker friend is brutally murdered in the manner of a death scene in one of his movies, Sophie becomes convinced that a copycat killer is on the loose...and that she's the next target. If she doesn't solve the mystery, her own best seller will spell out her doom. Cursing her grisly ending (why, oh, why did she have to pick the axe?), Sophie engages in some real-life gumshoe tactics.

The man who swoops in to save her in dark alleys at night is mysterious new love interest Anatoly Darinsky. Of course, if this were fiction, Anatoly would be her prime suspect.

Solve another case with Sophie.

Great for Weekend Chores

This is definitely a light read...enjoyable to listen to while doing something else. The narrator can be a little annoying with the accents, but the story kept me listening. I've already downloaded the next story in the series.

Entertaining

It made me laugh a few times and definitely entertaining. However, I figured out the ending with about 2 cds left.

Fun Book!

I really enjoyed this audio book. The writing reminds me of Janet Evanovich's books. It was lots of fun and the reader was a joy. Can't say that for many audio books.

Fun

This was a fun audiobook with snappy dialogue that kept me interested until the end. The finale was a little anticlimactic, but the interactions amongst the characters kept me interested. I already bought the second. Nice, light listening.

Good for a Harlequin

As I write this review I can't wait to finish listening to the last 20 minutes to see who really did it. It was a fun book with mystery, a little sex, and a who done it.

Double Latte with Sex, Murder and a Double Latte

Great story line. Loved the hero!!! Enjoyed the narrator also. Fun listening while in the car driving!!

Great read

An entertaining story and enjoyable listen. A light murder mystery with fun characters and a little bit of drama and a little romance thrown in to keep things interesting. A great book!

Loved it

Everything about this audio book was spot on! The narrator Gabra Zackman is fabulous and totally will listen to more from her. The characters are believable and lovable

So FUNNY!!!

What did you love best about Sex, Murder, and a Double Latte?

I completely love all the characters in this series, especially Sophie Katz. This is not a series for the serious mystery enthusiast. But it is a very entertaining series for "junk" reading. I just love a good laugh and this series makes me laugh so much! I have listened to the whole series several times.

What other book might you compare Sex, Murder, and a Double Latte to and why?

Probably Janet Evanovich's One for the Money series.

Have you listened to any of Gabra Zackman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I think her voices are very fun, and sometimes I forget it is just one voice!

Jump to conclusions much

The main character jumps to conclusions, unfounded so quickly it’s irritating. The beginning of the book was good and entertaining but midway through she begins making terrible decisions. SPOILER




She should be arrested for filing a false police report.
