~ LG Book Club
L.A. shoe designer, Maddie Springer, lives her life by three rules: Fashion. Fashion. Fashion.

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…

Summary
Overall A goofy yet spunky heroine, a dangerously sexy hero, a cast of onlyinLA characters, a clutch of crimes, and some serious life choices what more could you ask for in a chick lit mystery? Halliday's well constructed plot supports the fluffyzaniness of her heroine, a freelance shoe designer who gets herself tangled up in embezzlement and murder. She's worried that she might be pregnant and her boyfriend just happens to be the chief suspect. No wonder she gets a little carried away. Violence There is some violence in the descriptions of the crimes.
Language
Sexual There are some steamy descriptions of thoughts, a scene in a strip club, and it is clear that the characters are not chaste. However, there are no sex scenes.
