About this listen
Suddenly plunged into a crazy world of campaign mudslinging, dirt-digging, and cover-ups, Sophie begins to uncover some pretty dirty secrets indeed, involving a conservative congressional hopeful's involvement in the Furry community, a group of people who dress up in mascot-size stuffed animal costumes. Sex and politics, wouldn't you know?
Way in over her head as usual, Sophie reluctantly, or not-so-reluctantly, enlists the help of her two-time sidekick and ex, Anatoly. Together they set out to determine who killed Eugene and why, and in the process can't resist falling for each other...again?

Story
Thriller scribe Sophie Katz is as hard-boiled as a woman who drinks Grande Caramel Brownie Frappuccionos can be. So Sophie knows it's not paranoia, or post-divorce, living-alone-again jitters, when she becomes convinced that a crazed reader is sneaking into her apartment to reenact scenes from her books. The police, however, can't tell a good plot from an unmarked grave.

My name is Addison Holmes, and I teach history at James Madison High School in Whiskey Bayou, Georgia. You might be under the assumption that my life went to the dogs when my fiancé left me at the altar for the home economics teacher, or when I got notice that my apartment building was going to be condemned, or even when I was desperate enough to strip to my unmentionables to earn some extra cash. The truth is that I'm pretty much used to disasters following me around on a daily basis.

Del Sol native Sunshine Vicram has returned to town as the elected sheriff - thanks to her adorably meddlesome parents who nominated her - and she expects her biggest crime wave to involve an elderly flasher named Doug.

My life was going just fine by most standards. I ran a successful business in a tight-knit magical community, and lived just blocks from a beautiful lake and series of hiking trails. Then Selene showed up. According to some magical code I inherit my aunt's ancient familiar; a grumpy ten-pound cat with a broken filter. She fancies herself something of a saber-toothed tiger, and claims to have wrestled the thread of her ninth life from the hands of the Fates themselves—although, I'm pretty sure that last part isn't true. Almost positive.

Loved this book!
This is the third book Kyra Davis has done as a series to the adventures of Sophie Kates, the main character. I would suggest reading her first two books to fully enjoy this one. Just wished I had an Anatolli of my own. :)

These books are growing on me
I have to be honest, even though these books have their flaws, I got one when Audible had the $4.95 series special. Since then I haven't even waited for my credits, I've bought them all. The author and the narrator are really growing on me and I hope I see a new book in this series soon.

Kinky sex and politics
I can usually figure out who did it before the author tells me. This book was different. There were too many suspects. Davis manages them well for a very good funny and suspenseful book. The book has political overtones but I they are not distracting. They keep in line with the plot of the book. Her first book in this series was the absolute best so far but this is a close second. I am off to read the next one.

Fantastic Series
I always look forward to the Sophie Katz series. These are such fun stories! Great characters, all with different personalities that make you love them, or want to strangle them. Hilarious situations when they come together, and often clash with each other. I love everything about these books. I can't wait til the next one comes out!

I came across this author in Audible Escapes. I've been missing so much!! The star character is hilarious and seems to always find trouble. This is the second book I've read of her and will definitely read more.

Chocolate & fluffy animals don’t necessarily mean it’s Easter.
In this humorous writing about political greed, fluffy sexual fetishes, chocolate, coffee , and romance it is reassuring that romance and chocolate come out on top.

Amazing as usual
I love Sophie Katz and I love Kyra Davis writing her. The story was as amazing as the other books before. There were so many parts were I laughed out loud. I highly recommend this series to anyone looking for an truly enjoyable listen, great mystery that will also leave in stiches, read by a great narrator - Gabrz Zackman.

To many characters that I found it hard to remember who they were sometimes. I'm still not sure who the third person was in the room with Fitz. It was a good book but book 1& 2 were better to me.
