Suspect in High Heels (High Heels Mysteries)
by Gemma Halliday

This was an entertaining, fun, and witty read.
~I Read What You Write

I absolutely adored (if it is possible to adore a mystery) this book and the characters.
~My Reading Journeys

I fully enjoyed re-immersing myself in Maddie’s crazy world and reconnecting with the fun characters who make it up . . . best friend, Marco is always good for a laugh, even if not so much for fashion tips! The descriptions of his over-the-top outfits are hilarious and definitely bring a touch of sparkle to the tale.
~The Cozy Pages

Suspect in High Heels by Gemma Halliday is a fast-paced, hilarious whodunit. The mystery unravels with Maddie and Dana doing the funniest things to get to the truth.

When Maddie Springer—shoe designer turned amateur sleuth—tags along with her mother to the Antiques Extravaganza road show, the last thing she expects to have to do is pull her mom off of a celebrity appraiser after he calls her prized antique hatpin a phony. But things go from harried to homicide when the same appraiser is found dead just moments later—killed by Mom’s hatpin!

Now not even Maddie’s husband, LAPD Detective Jack Ramirez, can save Mom as the force’s two most bumbling detectives are assigned to the case. As if Maddie doesn’t have enough on her plate, her best friends, Dana and Marco, enlist her help to plan the most over-the-top Hollywood surprise party ever for Dana’s fiancé (who has a little surprise of his own up his sleeve), Maddie’s adorable twin toddlers are always up to no good, and the only thing that can calm her fashion-challenged and suddenly-a-suspect mom down are aura cleansing from her favorite Venice Beach psychic, Mrs. Rosenblatt. Whether they help or hurt, Maddie’s friends assist her in wading through a slew of murder suspects—none of whom are telling the truth and all of whom have ample motive to want the appraiser dead. Was it the frigid business partner with questionable ethics? The clown-collecting fan-turned-stalker? The auction house owner with a grudge? Or was the appraiser’s real business something much more sinister than his TV personality let on…and much more deadly?

Maddie and her eccentric gang of unlikely sleuths are under the gun to find out before the real killer strikes again…and Mom takes the fall!

My Review

Gemma Halliday continues to bring the humor in book 10 of the High Heels Mysteries. You will find yourself laughing out loud at some of the antics taking place in Suspect in High Heels.

The characters are well developed and each brings their personality to the story. In addition to the healthy dose of humor, there is just a touch of romance. Nothing too overt, but enough to make the story quite interesting.

Suspect In High Heels finds Maddie and her mother attending an Antique Roadshow. After being insulted by the expert appraiser who claimed the heirloom hat pin was nothing more than costume jewelry, Maddie's mother quickly becomes number one suspect when the appraiser is murdered at the Antique Roadshow. Maddie instantly goes into undercover/investigator mode trying to find who the real killer is.

Suspect in High Heels is the perfect cozy mystery to brighten anyone's day.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy of this book, and this is my volunteered review.
