New York Times and USA Today Bestselling series!
High Crime meets High Fashion...

Struggling L.A. shoe designer, Maddie Springer, lives her life by three rules: Fashion. Fashion. Fashion. But when her boyfriend suddenly disappears--along with $20 million in embezzled funds--her life takes an unexpected turn from Manolos to murder. Now her every move is under scrutiny by the LAPD's sexiest cop, dead bodies are dropping around her faster than last season's trends, and the deeper she digs the more she realizes maybe she didn't know her man as well as she thought. With the help of her post-menopausal bridezilla of a mother, a Venice Beach psychic, and her wanna-be actress 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 absolutely loved this book! I loved how witty Maddie was and how much this book felt like a rom-com. I also really like the bits of suspense in there too! Really kept me wanting to read more! I can’t wait for the new book to come out and I would totally recommend this book! It’s my new favorite!!!

    I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It’s a great cozy mystery with lots of laughs. If you enjoy cozy mysteries and/or rom-coms you will definitely like this. The only thing I would change is that I would make it “cleaner,” but it’s not like there are a bunch of sex scenes or anything, but Maddie doesn’t need to reference sex so much. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

    The story line was fun, but there was so much talk about calories and peoples bodies it was distracting and unnecessary.

  • What a fun book!

    I loved this book - funny, fast paced, well written and easy to read. When I read a book I want to be entertained and this book definitely filled that requirement. No grammar or spelling problems like in some books-just pure entertainment. I definitely recommend this book/author and look forward to reading more books by her.

  • Racist & fat shaming

    Good character development, but my title says it all.

  • Stereotypes and fat shaming and shoes galore!

    Oh boy. Where do I begin. With the author's caricature of the protagonist, a stereotypical blond who likes shoes and giggles and best I can tell is horrible at her job and seriously interfering with criminal investigations? Or with the cop who somehow finds her simpering manic pixie dumb girl act attractive and breaks a whole bunch of laws by never arresting her for obstruction of justice? Or with the bizarre fat-shaming the author does (even being sure to mention two different characters exact weights and using the word "waddle")? This book is REAL BAD, y'all.

    Light, fun story. There were a few typos, but nothing bad enough to detract from the story.(Sorry, I've read several ebooks lately that were ruined by errors that should have been caught by proofreaders.)
