Books like Sofie Metropolis by Tori Carrington
Sofie Metropolis was set to be married until she discovered her groom and maid of honor in a scandalous affair at the altar, prompting her to cancel the wedding and keep the honeymoon gifts—incl. a small apartment building full of quirky Queens tenants.
Instead of following her family's restaurant business, Sofie works as a junior detective for her Uncle Spyros’s agency, handling cases from missing pets to photographing spouses' affairs. A recent cheating assignment escalates into an attempted murder on her life, and she is rescued by a dashing Australian bounty hunter. The mystery deepens with a hunt for a missing "vampire" and a lost dog belonging to her mother's best friend.
