"Gemma Halliday's Maddie Springer is like the west coast version of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum - only more stylish!"
~ LG Book Club

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...

Ratings and reviews

This is a great book because it is very amusing and funny and kept me busy for a day or two... It gets intense at some parts and I laughed out loud at some parts of the book. I highly recommend this book, it's worth the money! But on the Apple App Store, this first book is free, btw. Enjoy.

I liked the story but after book 3 I had to stop. I'm sorry but Maddie was just pissing me off. I fail to believe that someone who is supposed to be an adult acts like her. I swear after awhile I had hoped Isabel and Mia killed her. And OMG Ramirez has the highest tolerance level eevvveerr to deal with her. I give him a medal. Wont be continuing the books at all.

Very enjoyable read. Fast paced, light and fun. Laughed out loud at times. Looking forward to next book.
