Synopsis

Sofie Metropolis is the newest PI on the mean streets of Astoria, Queens. She’s known for her trademark frappés and her itchy trigger finger.Uncle Tolly was acting odd right before he disappeared. The proof? The brand-new Mercedes Tolly just bought—and the business’ books, which show that Uncle Tolly was laundering more than just clothes. Which is where the mob comes in, in the darkly handsome figure of Tony DiPiazza. Tony’s very taken with Sofie. Too bad she won’t back off the money laundering and kidnapping—or is it murder?—investigation. Too bad she’s too busy to notice the men in her life because she’s being attacked by a malevolent dry-cleaning bag, bailing Aglaia out of jail, and spying on her own father. Sofie’s quest for the truth gets her into hot water—and a pair of cement overshoes. Not her best look.

Goodreads review by Christyn on November 19, 2013

Like I said in......more

Goodreads review by Andrea on June 27, 2012

I was sat on the fence with the first Sofie Metropolis book, but with Dirty Laundry I find myself really liking the series. Sure it is like Evanovich's Plum series. There are a lot of parallel's including Sofie's use of the word "Probably." But for all those similarities, Sofie is different from Step......more

Goodreads review by Emily on November 23, 2019

This is the second book in the goofy Sofie Metropolis series. Sofie gets herself in more trouble this time around. She’s still pet detecting, still hunting down cheating spouses, but also struggling pretty hard to serve some papers to an elusive Mr. Waters and while helping locate the missing laundr......more

Goodreads review by Sunny on November 11, 2018

Sofie Metropolis, P.I, is back and ready for action in the second novel of this series. Five months have passed since her last eventful case (if you can call shooting someone in the knee an event), and, unfortunately, she’s due for another. When Apostolis Pappas (A.K.A, Uncle Tolly) disappears, his w......more

Goodreads review by Jeannette on December 01, 2023

This book was a lot better and it is clear to see that Sofie is starting to find her way through her chosen profession as a PI. While the similarities between Sofie and Stephanie are still there, it is a fresh take on a familiar plot line. I love that fact that although she is not a fan of guns she......more
