Levine's sense of humor and timing make murder enjoyable. Ok, not for the murdered person but certainly for the reader. Jaine has discovered another body. This time with a stiletto in her jugular. She try's to solve the murder and is talkies into speed dating. She does catch the murderer, as well as a date with a man with a yacht. Ok, it isn't exactly a yacht. But it is a boat. Ok, it's a garbage trawl . But at lease he treats her to dinner. Ok, so it's peanut butter crackers and an Orange Crush.... Anything ranging from flawed angst ridden masterpiece to slick novellas can garner 4/5 ratings. This book fall in the range of the latter. Especially considered that it's awfully short. I read it in less than a day. But it was really well written. However I was disappointed with the denouement and the subterfuge used by the writer - or rather, by the murderer. But the writing was never boring and humor and pacing were integral to the book's success. The trouble with cozies is that one can never get to grips about what makes a cozy really tick. You'll have to take my word for it that Shoes To Die for warrants sparing 7 hours of your time for reading it. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

A fashion nightmare, according to her neighbor, Lance. She doesn't expect Lance--who works in the designer shoe department at Nieman Marcus--to understand...which is how she ends up visiting his favorite boutique, Passions. While the couture is definitely not for Jaine, the staff's gossip is. Tiny orange-haired clerk Becky starts complaining about her co-worker Giselle--a.k.a. "Frenchie"-- a brittle blonde who, when she's not making fun of customers behind their backs, adds extra-marital notches to her Chanel belt. Though Jaine doesn't land a new look, she does land a new job when Passions' owner gives her a chance to write their new magazine ads. But when Jaine arrives the next morning to pitch her ideas, she finds Frenchie pitched over, stabbed in the neck by one of her own stilettos. Now all Jaine has to do is figure out who hated Frenchie the most, in a case of death by designer knock-off... Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
