| I don't know if you could consider the mystery I'm reading now a "cozy" or not...she is an amateur sleuth, but it sure is hellaciously (is that a word) funny! I'm reading Spying In High Heels by Gemma Halliday. It's chick-lit mystery I guess since its "high crime meets high fashion." But whatever the big-wigs in NY want to classify it, I classify it as FUNNY! and a GREAT READ! And I do mean laugh-out-loud funny! Seriously! I was in the beauty shop today reading and laughing out loud under the hair dryer. Here's the blurb: L.A. shoe designer Maddie Springer lives her life by three rules: Fasion, Fashion, Fashion. But when she stumbles upon the work of a brutal killer, her life takes an unexpected turn from Manolos to murder. And things only get worse when her boyfriend disappears - along with $20 million in embezzled funds - and her every move is suddenly under scrutiny by the LAPD's sexiest cop. 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? If you haven't picked this book up - run to the store now - as fast as your Manolo's can get you there and pick it up. The second book in the series Killer In High Heels is going to be released February 27th and you can visit Gemma here. |
Yeah, this book is GREAT! And the second one is even funnier! If she keeps going at this pace, then I will likely ahve died of laughter by the time the fourth book comes out!
