Sofie Metropolis (the series) by Tori Carrington

Janet Evanovich fans will enjoy these four entries from the husband and wife team of Lori and Tony Karayianni. Sofie Metropolis lives in a Greek community in Astoria, Queens, NY. She suffers from all the Greek family quirkiness you saw in My Big Fat Greek Wedding with a strong undercurrent of New York savvy, and girl PI antics you've witnessed in Stephanie Plum in Trenton, NJ. Although the similarities are obvious, and sometimes overdone, once you suspend your inclination to compare the two, you just sit back and enjoy these delightful and funny characters.

Sofie has had enough of smothering family after her wedding plans fall apart and determines to stop waitressing in her family's restaurant. After an unsuccessful stint at her aunt's funeral parlor, she finds her place in her uncle's PI firm.
