Description
Sofie’s getting her feet under her as a PI and business is booming. So much so that she’s hired her (formerly) layabout cousin and a one-time petty criminal as “boys of all work.” Okay, so her reputation’s become, well, complicated–everyone in Astoria, Queens, knows that from time to time she shoots one of her own clients–but on the whole, she’s getting a lot more respect than when she was best known for leaving her groom at the altar.
In fact, Sofie’s just landed her first big criminal case–one so big that it’s on the news nearly every night. A young man from not quite the wrong side of the tracks has been accused of murdering his beautiful, wealthy girlfriend. His alibi’s a mess and his attitude’s worse. But his sister believes he’s innocent, and soon, so does Sofie. Now she just has to prove it–or find the real killer.
If only she didn’t have a host of distractions: a body disappears from her aunt Sotiria’s funeral home (it’s only a week before Halloween, so this might be a prank, or it might have something to do with the dead man’s mysterious life). Sofie sees her Dino keeping company with her sister Efi (are they flirting? how dare he? how dare she?); and Jake Porter returns, somehow connected to the missing body and, as always, making Sofie go weak in the knees. And since Dino’s otherwise occupied. . . .
Meanwhile, young Johnny is facing a life sentence. And Sofie Metropolis, budding PI, is his only hope.

July 7, 2008
In Carrington's entertaining fourth Sofie Metropolis novel (after 2007's Foul Play
), the Queens Greek-American PI is on the hunt for an all-dressed-up-and-ready-to-be-viewed corpse that's been snatched from her aunt's funeral home. Sofie is also trying to prove the innocence of Johnny Laughton, a young man from the projects about to go on trial for the murder of his socially upscale girlfriend a year earlier, though her body was never found. Despite a heartbroken secretary, a meddling mother, and vampires and necrophiliacs for neighbors, Sofie pursues both cases with aplomb. Meanwhile, still recovering from the left-at-the-altar fiasco detailed in Sofie Metropolis
(2005), she consoles herself in a no-strings fling with Dino Antonopoulos, a pastry shop owner, until Jake Porter, a sexy Australian bounty hunter, upsets her libido. While the plot tends to meander, romance, humor and appealing characters will keep readers happily turning the pages.
