Sex Murder and a Double Latte - Sophie Katz, Bk 1
Author: Kyra Davis
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 Frappuccinos can be -- maybe it's from a lifetime of fielding dumb comments about her half-black, half-Jewish ethnicity.  ("My sister married a Polynesi...  more »

I'll be honest - I didn't think I'd like this book. I'm not big on mysteries (Chick Lit type or not). But I LOVED this book! It was funny, intense, scary and then back to funny. So well-written and vivid. All the characters have their own distinct voices. Definitely a winner for me!

Great book by Kyra Davis. It's the first of her's I've read and I plan to read all the rest of her books. I couldn't put it down since I had to know what was going to happen next.

A well-crafted mystery, but ultimately forgettable.

A highly entertaining read from cover to cover! A little suspense, a lot of humor, and very relatable characters. I've already recommended this book to several friends, including a few that live in San Francisco where the storyline is based. This is the first book I've read in the chick-lit/cozy mystery genre and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the 4-book series.

Sex, Murder and a Double Latte was my book club's pick but it has been on my to-read list for a while now. I assumed the book was going to be somewhere along the lines of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series but I was a little disappointed. Sophie and her numerous friends have the potential to be hilarious but the writing just never gets to that level.

There was a huge build up to make you think one person is the murderer but you can see from a mile away that Sophie is wrong and it just seemed forced that she kept on with that line of thinking.

Overall I did enjoy the story and characters but I just wish there was a little more humor. I'm still going to give book two, Passion, Betrayal and Killer Highlights, a try and hope Davis works out the kinks.

Excellant story. A little slow in the beginning, but turned out great. Can't wait to read more of her books.

Excellent, fun book. Funny but enough mystery to keep you hanging! Great summer read - I can't wait to read the next in the series. Carol
