Sophie Green Mystery

review 1: I've now read four of the Sophie Green series in a row and I'm in the middle of another. They are truly on a par with Janet Evanovich and to a Brit like myself, even a Northerner, they are the perfect blend of humour and tension, comedy and crisis. Sophie is a heroine of our times, built to last - a walking disaster area in so many ways but with the power to affect people and change lives. I feel for Luke (his life is going to be filled with problems but oh so exciting) and just hope that Ms Johnson feels the need to keep writing the series. I particularly liked the concept of Sophie going back to school (and yes, I wanted the uniform as well, I admit it.) Every character is imbued with passion and life, Sophie's parents, Tom the singer, Maria, Docherty - every one of them... more you feel has a marvellous story to tell and Sophie sits in the centre like a powerful magnet who has no real idea of why things happen but works by a truly beautiful set of instincts. This is one blonde who knows how to have fun but struggles along the rest of her emotional pathways. A brilliant series. Ms Johnson understands men and women, cats and cars, airports and accidents. My kindle ran out of power by the end of the long bank holiday. Thank you KJ
review 2: I started this series thinking it wouldn't be much. Just light, fluffy, formulaic stories. I have been surprised that even now, three books in, it's holding up and has been a much more interesting and entertaining series than I expected. Sophie is a funny, feisty, flawed spy, her relationship with Luke is up and down, but never boring (though I'm getting to the "sort it out, already!" point). I've just downloaded #4, and am disappointed to see that it's the last so far, despite coming out in 2008. less
