Title:  Homicide in High Heels

AuthorGemma Halliday

Review:  Homicide in high heels follows Maddie Springer fashion lover and shoe designer as she tries to balance marriage, her twins 1st birthday and finding a murder to keep her faux dad’s salon alive. When Maddie Husband Jack Ramirez the big bad homicide detective is suspended for punching out a ball player he ask Maddie the one thing she never thought he would ever ask. “I need you to investigate the murder for me.” This was music to Maddie, Marco, Dana ears and for the first time Maddie felt pressure to find the murder and solve the mystery. Ramirez takes over the job of Mr. Mom and to Maddie’s surprise he seems to always have the twins asleep, the house cleaned and dinner ready without a hair out of place while Maddie is off dealing with crazy Baseball Wives, moody baseball players, tabloid reporters and strippers.

Just like all the rest of the high heel mysteries it’s a clean, quick fun read, full of laughs and enough twist and turns to keep you guessing who the murder is. The character are true to themselves and the series that Gemma Halliday created. If you love Mystery High heel series this is a can’t miss book.

This book is a perfect summer poolside read.

Thank you Heidi for this review.
