Why such weak reviews? It was a well done book, and a great way to pass some time drinking tea and escaping. Yes there were some similarities to Janet E.s Stephanie Plum series, but I liked it cause it was less wacky, and had more heart. As for the mystery, I was just a clueless as our main character, as to what was going on, and when it all came together, I was happy with the results.

Tori Carrington is actually the pen name of a Husband and wife team who write many, many romance novels, you know the kind. Different cover, different state, different job, different hair, and eye color but the same old romance story. They have continued to write these romances even after they have written this series. Having said that, I think that they have real talent as writers, because this isnt a romance with a few guns and dead bodies thrown in. This is the beginning of a new relationship with a great group of people of Astoria, NY and their Greek community.

This book can stand on its own, it isnt a rip off of Stephanie Plum. In fact Sophie even likes to read Janet E.s books. She also liked to drink Nescafe Frappes, hence the coffee cup on the front cover. There is a recipe for the Frappe at the back of the book, and two other recipes.
