ALIBI IN HIGH HEELS is the fourth book in Gemma Halliday's
series featuring shoe designer Maddie Springer. In this
mystery, Maddie receives a call from a top designer
inviting her to show her line of shoes in the Paris
Fashion Week Show. She is overwhelmed with joy at the
possibilities that all of the exposure will do for her
career.
Everything is turning out great until one of the models is
found murdered with a stiletto heel poking out of her
jugular. Maddie is shocked by the familiar murder scene
and knows someone is trying to set her up. When all of her
shoes for the fashion show are taken away into evidence,
Maddie has had enough. She must find out who this killer
is before they ruin her life.
Homicide Detective Jack Ramirez loves Maddie and knows how
she can get when she is investigating a crime. He wishes
she would leave it to the professionals but once she
decides to do something there is no stopping her. Ramirez
tries to keep Maddie safe but she is determined to solve
this case with or without his help. With the help of her
family and friends, Maddie tries to solve the case of The
Couture Killer before she becomes his next victim.
ALIBI IN HIGH HEELS is a delightful, humorous romance
mystery that will have readers smiling and enjoying every
page of this fantastic story. I loved the love triangle
storyline, the mystery was tightly plotted, the characters
were wonderful and I just adored every bit of this book.
I started ALIBI IN HIGH HEELS around 2 pm and read non
stop until 11 pm when I finished it. The writing was so
engaging and so fun that I did not want to put this book
down. This is a 5 star book that I HIGHLY recommend to
Janet Evanovich fans who are looking for a new author to
try that they will LOVE!!! ALIBI IN HIGH HEELS is the best
book that I have read in a while and I can't wait to read
more books by Gemma Halliday.

international killer, or will this be the case that finally
