Shoe designer Maddie Springer is elated. Her dream of
participating in Paris fashion shows has come true.
Unfortunately, this aggravating habit she's acquired lately
of being involved in dead bodies follows her overseas.
European designer Jean Luc LeCroix's top runway model is
found dead, stabbed with a stiletto heel. Of course, that
was how Maddie offed someone in a previous book, so she's a
top suspect.
Even worse than being a murder suspect -- police confiscate
all the shoes she created for the show as evidence. No
amount of pleading, begging or crying will get them
returned, so Maddie decides she needs to clear her name and
find the killer. Naturally, boyfriend and hottie homicide
detective Jack Ramirez is around to help out, but it seems
their relationship maybe have hit some hurdles that can't
be overcome.
The fourth release in this witty, fast-moving High Heels
mystery series will captivate readers. This book ventures
into a little more seriousness than previous novels. For
romance readers, the possible demise of Maddie and
Ramirez's relationship is a page-turner! And it's a little
sad that Maddie doesn't get her opportunity to show shoes
in Paris. But still, you'll giggle and snort at Maddie's
wit and Ms. Halliday's excellent writing. A fun series!
Baguettes, bodies, and haut couture galore! Shoe designer
turned amateur sleuth, Maddie Springer, is at it again,
this time in fabulously fashionable Paris. When Europe's
designer de jour, Jean Luc LeCroix, invites Maddie to show
her heels off at Paris Fashion Week, Maddie's sure she's
died and gone to heaven. That is until Jean Luc's top model
is found dead on the runway, stabbed with a stiletto heel. A
mode of murder all too familiar to Maddie - someone is
trying to frame her for murder. Never one to lie down and
take it, Maddie enlists the help of her friends, along with
the sexy Detective Jack Ramirez, to uncover a daring jewel
heist, a devious blackmail plot, an undercover lover, and
even a few skeletons lurking in the closets of those
closest to her. But as the evidence piles up, Maddie
becomes the prime suspect and Ramirez is stuck between a
badge and a cute blonde with a tendency for trouble. Will
he stand by her as she attempts to track down an
international killer, or will this be the case that finally
comes between them? One thing's for sure, if Maddie doesn't
find out who has it in for her quickly, she may be saying
her final adieu.
