SPYING IN HIGH HEELS - book #1
L.A. shoe designer, Maddie Springer, lives her life by three rules: Fashion. Fashion. Fashion. But when she stumbles upon the work of a brutal killer, her life takes an unexpected turn from Manolos to murder.

KILLER IN HIGH HEELS - book #2
Maddie straps on her stilettos and, along with her trigger-happy best friend, makes tracks for Sin City in search of her MIA dad.
Maddie finds not only her dad, but also a handful of aging drag queens, an organized crime ring smuggling fake Prada pumps, and one relentless killer. Plus, it seems the LAPD's sexiest cop is doing a little Vegas moonlighting of his own. In a town where odds are everything, Maddie bets it all on her ability to out-step a vicious murderer.

UNDERCOVER IN HIGH HEELS - book #3
Secret affairs, hunky gardeners, and housewives desperate enough to bare it all... welcome to Magnolia Lane, TV's hottest new prime time show... where a rising young starlet is found dead on the show's set. Now it's up to Maddie to sift through a leading lady with a secret, an actor on the verge of a nervous breakdown, a sexy cyber scandal, and one tabloid reporter who'll stop at nothing to get the story of the century. Not to mention Maddie's hot-cold relationship with the case's familiar lead detective, Jack Ramirez. In a world where secrets, lies, and deception can earn you an Oscar, Maddie plays the role of a lifetime to catch Hollywood's hottest killer. But if she doesn't watch her step, Maddie's fifteen minutes of fame just may be her last.

She worked as a film and television actress, a teddy bear importer, a department store administrator, a preschool teacher, a temporary tattoo artist, and a 900 number psychic, before finally selling her first book, Spying in High Heels, in 2005 and deciding to be a writer.

This is Crap. I could not finish the first book. Cliché, stream-of-consciousness, hysterical babble.

Love, love, love Gemma Hallidays' High Heels series. Literally can't stop reading. Each book is entertaining and keeps you wanting more. I have spent many all nighters reading these books and once im finished with one I immediately start the next. Love so much that once I'm done with the whole series I will go back and read again. Highly recommend for readers who love mystery, romance . and humor. You won't be let down.

'High Heels Mystery' boxed set, book 1-3 were great. Each book has a great storyline. The way they play out are full of mystery, hilarious scenes and dialog, plus some great characters. Maddie is an accident waiting to happen. And when you throw her friends in, you know it's going to be funny. I can't wait to read more. A great add to your tbr list. Recommended.

Liked all three

Really liked all three books. Maggie's illogical decisions that constantly get her in trouble seemed natural for her to make.
