L.A. shoe designer, Maddie Springer, lives her life by three rules: Fashion. Fashion. Fashion. But when she stumbles upon the work of a brutal killer, her life takes an unexpected turn from Manolos to murder. And things only get worse when her boyfriend disappears - along with $20 million in embezzled funds - and her every move is suddenly under scrutiny by the LAPD's sexiest cop. With the help of her post-menopausal bridezilla of a mother, a 300 pound psychic and one seriously oversexed 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...

There's not actually anything bad about this book - I just didn't really like it all that much. It was readable and it had a few funny parts - it's just not really my thing. I prefer less ditz in my cozy mysteries. Well all my books really. If you like Stephanie Plum, you'll no doubt love Maddie Springer. She's pretty much a complete carbon copy but without a second boyfriend (well sort of anyway) and a million family members. That or she's a re-imagined version of what a LA fashionista Stephanie Plum would look like.

I got tired of Stephanie Plum with her back and forth wishy-washy-ness and the exact same thing happened here. Because it was 481 pages of ditzy flip-flopping idiocy. It was too long by far. Sure the first 40% was decent but it just never wrapped up - it just kept going and going. And to be fair, it wasn't badly written - it was perfectly readable - if I liked the main character more I'm sure I would've loved getting an extra 250 pages than what was needed - but I didn't and it started to drag.

One of the main things that dragged was the is she/is she not pregnant. I just didn't care by the end. Her relationship with Ramirez is problematic for so many reasons - mostly the fact that she MAY BE PREGNANT?! But also because she's not even committing to dumping Richard? Or thinking she should? It was just bizarre. The will they won't they has never grabbed me and it just made me cringe in this.

Overall, not for me. But a good beach read if you're after a bit of mystery, a bit of romance and a bit of ditz. 2.5 stars.

I enjoyed the book, although I don't think I'll read more from this series. It was entertaining and fun but the main character eventually started to annoy, so I'm done. ( )

This was cute, fun and light hearted. I think I will probably continue with the series. I need to read some more about Detective Ramirez! ( )

Didn't like it to start, but the character really grew on me. Too much of a fixation on designer duds and such in the beginning, but Maddie was funny and engaging (and pretty much a disaster) and I enjoyed the book. Nothing earth-shattering, but a silly, fun read. ( )

This was an enjoyable little mystery. Not great, but not bad either. My favorite character of the book is the cop, Jack Ramirez. He seemed the most realistic and reacted to situations in a normal fashion. Maddie, the heroine, frequently does things that made me want to yell at her. Her refusal to take a pregnancy test being one of those things. It is impossible to guess the murderer, because we aren't in possession of all the facts. (Actually, you can guess the murderer, because there are only so many characters. But the motive isn't clear until it is explained.) ( )

For Mary Ellen Halliday Thompson. She never wore Manolos, Pradas, or Choos, but with a style undeniable, no one will ever fill her shoes. We miss you, Grandma.
