Review: Alibi in High Heels by Gemma Halliday

Book 4 in the Maddie Springer, Shoe Designer Cozy Mystery Series

Book Description from Amazon:

“Baguettes, bodies, and haute couture galore! Shoe designer turned amateur sleuth Maddie Springer is at it again–this time in fabulously fashionable Paris.

When Europe’s designer du jour, Jean Luc LeCroix, invites Maddie to show her creations 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 familiar stiletto heel. Sure someone is trying to frame her, Maddie enlists the help of her friends, including the sexy Detective Jack Ramirez, to uncover a daring jewel heist, a devious blackmailer, and even a few skeletons lurking in the closets of those closest to her.

But as the evidence mounts, Maddie becomes the prime suspect and Ramirez is stuck between a badge and a cute blonde with a tendency for trouble. With her love life on the rocks and a murderer on the loose, if Maddie doesn’t uncover the real killer soon, she might be saying her final adieu.”

My Thoughts:

Another cute installment to the Maddie Springer series. Maddie is in Paris, preparing for her very first fashion show, with her shoe designs on the models! Needless to say, Maddie is super-excited, but things come to a crashing halt when a prominent model is found dead, one of Maddie’s stiletto designs stabbed right in her neck. Of course, Maddie become a prime suspect. In an effort to clear her name, she gets herself in MORE trouble, especially with her hunky boyfriend, Jack Ramirez. I enjoyed this light cozy and was thrilled with the ending! I have the final Maddie Springer book, Mayhem in High Heels, in my TBR and can’t wait to see how this series ends!

Note: Ms. Halliday has started a new series, starring, in part, Maddie’s “friend”, Felix Dunn, of the LA Informer. The first book is entitled SCANDAL SHEET is out now! I can’t wait to get it! Has anyone else read it yet?

Til next time,
Happy Reading!
