Ms. Halliday is a gifted author and never disappoints. This is a must-read for anyone who enjoys well-crafted, fun mysteries.

An antique hatpin and Maddie’s mom are wrapped up in a murder?
Suspect in High Heels by Gemma Halliday is a fast-paced, hilarious whodunit. The mystery unravels with Maddie and Dana doing the funniest things to get to the truth.Will Maddie figure it out before the murderer strikes again?Maddie SpringerMaddie 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 MysteryI 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 EndingI won’t tell you much about this, but it’s adorable and that one should never underestimate the power of a couple.Four StarsSuspect in High Heels by Gemma Halliday is a fantastic read.

Keep ’em coming
This is the 10th book in the High Heels Mysteries series. You can read it without having read the previous ones. However, I suggest reading them all. There is also some crossover with Gemma Halliday’s Hollywood Headlines series.It is a fun series, and I’m not even that into fashion or shoes. The main character, Maddie Springer, and her family and friends are all likeable even if some of them are a bit kooky. This particular book deals with the Antiques Roadshow type crowd and spoiler alert: Maddie isn’t a suspect! Someone she cares about is and you know the police could always use some extra help. Antics ensue.

Just enough mystery with fun built in….and of course a surprise too! I can’t wait for my next estate sale. Looking forward to book 11!
