Cozy Mystery
From the Author’s Web Site:
It's springtime in California! The flowers are in bloom,
the fashion week runways are fierce, and fans of America's favorite pastime are
filling the baseball stadiums to root for their favorite team. But when the
girlfriend of the L.A. Stars rookie MVP winds up dead at a chic Beverly Hills
salon, it's suddenly up to fashion designer Maddie Springer to track down the
"Tanning Salon Killer." Armed with the help of her wacky cast of
friends and family, Maddie finds herself with a list of suspects that includes
the cast of the reality TV show Baseball Wives, a desperate blackmail
victim, and an entire baseball team! If Maddie can brave the hot dogs and cat
fights, she just might be able to catch a killer...before he strikes again!
Homicide in High Heels is my first time to read a Maddie and
Ramirez books and I loved it.
Maddie is such a great character. She is over the top on keeping up with
fashion and she ownes the very best.
The great thing is that she earns and pays for all of those really
expensive fashions items. In
addition she has a very good head on her shoulders and does a great job as a
detective.
Ramirez on the other hand is a real alpha male. He is a police officer who really does
not know that much about the fashion his wife loves. They should not mesh as a couple but it turns out they are a
perfect match. He really would
like to keep Maddie out of the detective business but this time he has to ask
for her help. I loved how the role
reversal brought out interesting facets in each of their personalities.
The murder and the mystery surrounding it are made for
Maddie’s talents. While Maddie
kept coming up with suspects I was kept guessing the entire time. Homicide in High Heels has fun, danger,
laughs and a really good story.
Pick it up for a entertaining read.
