One of the best laugh out loud, feel good books of 2005 was
Sofie Metropolis. It was just soooooo on target. I love
the ethnicity of different backgrounds. Each country, even
segments within a country, have those wonderfully unique
qualities that are endlessly fascinating. I grew Read more...
"The Next installment of Sofie Metropolis"

DIRTY LAUNDRY is the next installment of Tori Carringtons'
Sofie Metropolis series. If your expecting it to be as
good as the first one, it isn't it is BETTER!!
This time Sofie is asked to look for Uncle Tolly owner of
the local dry cleaners in order for his Read more...
SummarySofie Metropolis is the newest P.I. on the mean streets of
Astoria, Queens. She's known for her trademark frappes and
her itchy trigger finger. She even shot one of her own clients!
Well, he was trying to kill her at the time . . . and she
only hit him in the knee . . . .
Sofie's hot on the trail of a missing pet ferret—wait,
aren't those illegal in New York City?—and a missing
dry cleaner. According to his furious wife, Aglaia, Uncle
Tolly was acting odd right before he disappeared. The proof?
The brand-new Mercedes Tolly just bought. And the business's
books, which show that Uncle Tolly was laundering more than
just clothes.
Which is where the mob comes in, in the darkly handsome
figure of Tony DiPiazza. Tony's very taken with Sofie. Too
bad she won't back off the money-laundering and kidnapping
(or is it murder?) investigation.
Really too bad, since hunky Australian bounty hunter/man of
mystery Jake Porter is hanging around again, tinkering under
the hood of Sofie's car and kissing Sofie like he really
means it, only she's too busy to notice.
Too busy: being attacked by a malevolent dry-cleaning bag;
bailing Aglaia out of jail; airing out her apartment after
an assault by noxious dog-farts; and spying on her own
father. Because Sofie's mother thinks that after nearly
thirty years of marriage, her husband is having an affair.
Can't anyone stay faithful for five minutes?
Sofie's quest for the truth gets her into hot water—and
a pair of cement overshoes. It's not her best look.
