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!
