So today's book review thursday we are going to do the some more of the high heels mysteries by Gemma Halliday. Book 4 is called Alibi in High Heels and Book 5 is called Mayham in High heels. 
Let's start with the 4th one. Maddie is living her dream Jon Luc a famous designer in fashion week has asked Maddie to showcase her line of shoes in his fashion week show in Paris. But in usual Maddie fashion something always goes wrong. Right before Paris Maddie ends up with a broken leg, crutches, doctor's order to not wear heels, and her mother and Mrs. R. heading to Paris with her. 
Only problem the second day Maddie is in Paris a model ends up dead on the runway with none other than Maddie's stiletto sticking out of her neck. Maddie's MO. The police are all too aware of this too and begin questioning Maddie as their prime suspect. The person to come to Maddie's rescue when Ramirez is not around. Felix Dunn, the sleazy reporter from LA. They start out on yet another mystery together that brings Dana and Ramirez to Paris to help. When Ramirez insists Maddie stay out of it in usual fashion she ignores him and ends up in London and Milan hunting down the killer but every clue she finds leads her back to Felix. Is it really him or is she ignoring that's it him bc she might just remember their last kiss a little too well. 
Probably my favorite in the series the ending was amazing!!! 5 out of 5. 

I wanted to finish the first five books before this review but since i've only just began 4 i think you all deserve something. 
This is the High Heels Mystery Series by Gemma Halliday. The 1st book is called Spying in High Heels the story follows child shoe designer Maddie Springer. She has an obsession with shoes and a boyfriend that has just disappeared. With the help of her best friend Dana (the actress/ aerobics instructer) Maddie set out to hunt down her boyfriend richard before the cop on the case, Jack Ramirez, finds him first. It definitely left me laughing the whole way through. The witty commentary. The inappropriate jokes and the escapades Maddie conjures up to get her way are down right hard to resist. 
Book 2 is called Killer in High Heels after a call from her absentee father Maddie is on the case again to Las Vagas with Dana and Marco to tag along. But in usual Maddie fashion when searching for her father she ends up stumbling onto the murder of a drag queen and a mob smuggling scheme of fake shoes. She also falls right in the middle of another of Ramirez's cases. Leaving him frustrated that she hasn't learned to listen and they haven't had a chance alone since the last case they solved. Finding her dad having another freakout by her mom and a completely absurd ending. It was just as funny as the original. 
The 3rd book was called Undercover in High heels. Maddie ruined yet another of Ramirez's cases by playing the part of the jealous 'sort of girlfriend.' Ramirez is ultimately demoted to glorified security for an actress on the set of Maddie and Dana's new favorite show Magnolia Lane. To get back in Ramirez's good graces Maddie and Dana come up with a way to solve the case and meet the cast. Dana as an extra on the show and Maddie calling in a few favors and becoming an assistant in wardrobe. Yet again with Maddie fashion she stumbles into another murder when Mia's (Ramirez's case) stand in is found dead in Mia's trailer. This leads Maddie and Dana to interviewing castmembers and running to the infamous Jasmine from book 1 (who is now pornstar extraordinaire) all the while the first mistake she made being the jealous 'not quite' girlfriend was coming back to kill her. In the end Maddie ends up with 2 murderers on her tail and a really upset 'bad cop' that she was trying to avoid before another lecture. This one was just as disarmingly funny and i couldn't stop reading it or stop laughing.  So far these first three books have given me high hopes for the last three. The forth one i have just started and am already laughing. Rating: 5 out of 5 stars for each of them. Keep you posted for next week.
