Light, short mystery. Kind of tried too hard to be funny in places. The stargazing toward the end took me out of the story a bit.

Love the high heels books and read this wee story on the train coming home from work. Brightened up a dull day. Great.

I love Maddie! This sweet book was the perfect way to spend an afternoon. I have enjoyed all the high heels books and was glad to be able to get them digitally so that I could donate my hard copies to the library so others could enjoy Ms. Halliday's funny novels.
