This was the second novella I read from this series, after the first one I wasn't ready to commit to a full length novel. I really wanted to like these characters more than I did, the idea of Maddie the clever shoe designer and Ramirez the cop appealed to me. I love The Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich and was hoping for more of that chemistry. I know some liked the guest appearance in the book, but I thought it was a bit silly. I did like how all the pieces of the mystery fell into place alter a simple unrelated comment in a conversation. I might give one of the High Heels novels in the series a try, they just aren't on the top of my TRB list. First, let me say I usually prefer reading full-length novels over short stories. However, if you're a short-story reader of mystery, this is satisfying. It's sassy, up-to-the-minute, and into fashion, especially shoes. I'd loved to have seen the plot developed into a full-length mystery, with clues coming after hard detecting (instead of dropping like flies), and maybe a check with Dr. Lyle for medical accuracy. But, a fun read.
What do You think about Sweetheart In High Heels (2011)?
Really short, which I knew, but good since I have "known" the characters from all the other books.

More of the High Heels mysteries. Cute story but not quite up to par with the others.
