An antique hatpin and Maddie's mom are wrapped up in a murder? Will Maddie figure it out before the murderer strikes again?
Maddie Springer
Maddie is our sleuth. She tries to hide her investigation from her husband, LAPD detective, Jack Ramirez, but her friends are prepared to assist her. Maddie won't allow her Mom to go to jail for something that she didn't do. In the process, Maddie, with the help of Dana and Marco, dive into the world of antiques, and auction houses. They learn more about the trade then any of them wanted to learn.
Jack and Maddie have these adorable two-year-old twins. The twins hide cell phones in the darnedest places and have food fights at the craziest times. It was a perfect mesh with the other eccentric characters running amok throughout the story.
I like Maddie; she is down to earth with a touch of high maintenance crazy. I would be friends with her, and I might even babysit for her (maybe).
The Mystery
I enjoyed the way that Ms. Halliday lays out the clues and all the subplots that also help keep it going. The detectives assigned to this murder are nicknamed" Laurel and Hardy." They proved their nickname was correct every time they tried to use their cellphones for notes, pictures, or to make a call. I seriously wonder how those two still have jobs. I also liked the way characters from past books were brought back for a brief moment.
Surprise Ending
I won't tell you much about this, but it's adorable and that one should never underestimate the power of a couple.
Four Stars
Suspect in High Heels by Gemma Halliday is a fantastic read. I enjoyed the humor, family, friendships, and of course, the mystery. Seriously, the things that people will do to help their family. I am giving it four stars and recommending it to all you cozy readers out there.
