Alibi in High Heels

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.

Good Wrap-Up, 2008-09-10
This was the 4th in the "high heels" series and despite the gimmicky ending, it was a satisfying read and conclusion to the series.

Fun with mysteries!!, 2008-08-27
Loved this story! This was the first book I picked up out of the High Heels series and now I'm hooked! I'm reading the series backwards, but it's well worth it after reading this book! I cannot wait to see what happens next with Gemma's latest Maddie Springer adventure/Mystery/Romance! Like others had stated about this book, it's easy reading and a fun way to spend a quiet afternoon!

Shoe designer Maddie Springer is back in another entertaining mystery!

When she's invited to show her creations in hot designer Jean Luc LeCroix's show at Paris Fashion Week, Maddie can't believe her luck. But things start going wrong even before she sets food on Parisian soil. Thanks to an unlucky accident, she can't sport her favorite heels on the trip. Instead, she's relegated to ballet flats and the wonder boot, an accessory she hadn't expected on needing, much like the crutches. Add in the fact her mother and Mrs. Rosenblatt are tagging along (to make sure she can handle herself) is chaotic enough, but when the top model of the show is found dead, stabbed with one of Maddie's stilettos, all fingers once again point at Maddie. Dubbed `The Couture Killer', she's forced to track down the real killer in the way only Maddie can in order to clear her own name.

Back again are Felix, with a bit of an interesting secret to reveal - aside from his crush on Maddie; Maddie's best friend Dana; and of course, sexy cop and Maddie's boyfriend, Jack Ramirez who has to yet again literally bail her out on a couple occasions. Can he handle all the trouble that comes with being Maddie Springer's boyfriend or this the final straw in their relationship?

ALIBI IN HIGH HEELS is a great addition to the High Heels Mysteries series. Maddie's once again found herself in familiar territory, accused of a crime and forced to prove her innocence, in ways only Maddie can come up with. This time her antics take her to London (including a stop at a rather interesting club) club and Milan, where there just might be another dead body in her future. I really enjoyed ALIBI IN HIGH HEELS, it's a great mystery with lots of surprising twists and turns, including surprising info on Felix.

Excellent entry in an excellent series, 2008-06-13
Totally enjoyable romp in Paris with the characters who charmed me in Ms. Hallidays first book and continued to keep me entertained through the rest of her wonderful series.

A New Direction , 2008-05-29
I liked this book and found it funny, but was surprised by the direction Halliday seems to be taking this story. Felix and Maddie have unresolved issues. Ramirez's actions at the end of the book were a complete surprise. I don't want to be a spoiler so I can't go into detail. I do like the tension created between Maddie/Felix/Ramirez, although I feel Maddie isn't handling this the way she should.

I'm can't wait to see where this story is going, and hope to see a little more maturity on Maddie's part.
