Gemma Halliday will have you in stitches with her High Heel Series. The first book in the series is SPYING IN HIGH HEELS and here is a brief synopsis of the book:
L.A. shoe designer, Maddie Springer, lives her life by three rules: Fashion. Fashion. Fashion. But when she stumbles upon the work of a brutal killer, her life takes an unexpected turn from Manolos to murder. And things only get worse when her boyfriend disappears along with $20 million in embezzled funds and her every move is suddenly under scrutiny by the LAPD’s sexiest cop. With the help of her post-menopausal bridezilla of a mother, a 300 pound psychic and one seriously oversexed best friend, Maddie finds herself stepping out of her stilettos and onto the trail of a murderer. But can she catch a killer before the killer catches up to her?
I really love Maddie. Ms. Halliday crafts a fun character in Maddie that this reader really connected with.
Maddie finds herself even in more trouble with the second book in the series:
Here is a synopsis:
L.A. shoe designer Maddie Springer hasn’t seen her father since he reportedly ran off to Las Vegas with a showgirl named Lola. So she’s shocked when he leaves a desperate plea for help on her answering machine – ending in a loud bang. Gunshot? Car backfire? Never one to leave her curiosity unsatisfied, Maddie straps on her stilettos and, along with her trigger-happy best friend, makes tracks for Sin City in search of her MIA dad.
Maddie hits the jackpot, all right. She finds not only her dad, but also a handful of aging drag queens, an organized crime ring smuggling fake Prada pumps, and one relentless killer. Plus, it seems the LAPD’s sexiest cop is doing a little Vegas moonlighting of his own. In a town where odds are everything, Maddie bets it all on her ability to out-step a vicious murderer. She just hopes her gamble pays off before her own luck runs out.
Undercover in High Heels is the third installment, Alibi in High Heels is the fourth in the series, and Mayhem in High Heels is the fifth installment.
I laughed at some of the characters that Maddie deals with while trying to do some investigating of her own. Ms. Halliday has many other books that are fascinating, I just happen to love Maddie Springer in her High Heel Series.
