Maddie is shocked by the familiar murder scene and knows someone is trying to set her up. When all of her shoes for the fashion show are taken away into evidence, Maddie has had enough. She must find out who this killer is before they ruin her life.
Homicide Detective Jack Ramirez loves Maddie and knows how she can get when she is investigating a crime.

Ramirez tries to keep Maddie safe but she is determined to solve this case with or without his help. With the help of her family and friends, Maddie tries to solve the case of The Couture Killer before she becomes his next victim.
ALIBI IN HIGH HEELS is a delightful, humorous romance mystery that will have readers smiling and enjoying every page of this fantastic story. I loved the love triangle storyline, the mystery was tightly plotted, the characters were wonderful and I just adored every bit of this book.
I started ALIBI IN HIGH HEELS around 2 pm and read non stop until 11 pm when I finished it. The writing was so engaging and so fun that I did not want to put this book down. This is a 5 star book that I HIGHLY recommend to Janet Evanovich fans who are looking for a new author to try that they will LOVE!!! ALIBI IN HIGH HEELS is the best book that I have read in a while and I can't wait to read more books by Gemma Halliday.
Book Summary
Baguettes, bodies, and haut couture galore! Shoe designer turned amateur sleuth, Maddie Springer, is at it again, this time in fabulously fashionable Paris. When Europe's designer de jour, Jean Luc LeCroix, invites Maddie to show her heels off at Paris Fashion Week, Maddie's sure she's died and gone to heaven. That is until Jean Luc's top model is found dead on the runway, stabbed with a stiletto heel. A mode of murder all too familiar to Maddie - someone is trying to frame her for murder. Never one to lie down and take it, Maddie enlists the help of her friends, along with the sexy Detective Jack Ramirez, to uncover a daring jewel heist, a devious blackmail plot, an undercover lover, and even a few skeletons lurking in the closets of those closest to her. But as the evidence piles up, Maddie becomes the prime suspect and Ramirez is stuck between a badge and a cute blonde with a tendency for trouble. Will he stand by her as she attempts to track down an international killer, or will this be the case that finally comes between them? One thing's for sure, if Maddie doesn't find out who has it in for her quickly, she may be saying her final adieu.
