Anyone who has read the Stephanie Plum series will recognize early on that this series is identical. Plum has a flamboyant black hooker best friend, Sokol has a flamboyant black transvestite best friend. Plum has a crazy grandma living with her parents, Sokol has a crazy uncle living with her parents. Plum's mother cooks constantly, always has enough for guests and doggie bags. So does Sokol's mother. Plum and Sokol both have one bad boy love interest, and one good guy love interest. Plum works for her weasley relative. Sokol works for her roomate's weasly relative. Neither Plum nor Sokol can use a weapon. Neither Plum nor Sokol is ever prepared for a stakeout. It just goes on and on. I got bored with the Plum series, I am already bored with the Sokol series after one book.
