Good First Mystery

I enjoyed this book. It wasn't the best mystery I have read lately, but not bad for the first in a series. I will probably buy the other books by this author. Not nearly as good as Janet Evanovich, though.

Great debut novel

This was a fun read. The story was interesting and all the characters were likable. I thought the way the scenes between Molly and the detective were written were awesome. You can feel the chemistry between them jump off the page. It started slow but picked up the pace soon thereafter. I will definitely pick up the next book in the series.

Killer Debut

Molly Forrester writes an advice column for Zeitgeist, a Manhattan magazine. She'd like to write for a more prestigious magazine and sees her chance when Teddy Reynolds, advertising director for Zeitgeist, is murdered and she literally stumbles over his body at the magazine offices. Molly wants to try and sell the story of Teddy's murder from her viewpoint and decides to try and solve the murder herself as an additional selling point for the article. She has another incentive to solve the murder - hunky police detective Kyle Edwards seems to think Teddy's wife, Helen, killed him and Molly is convinced that the real killer works at the magazine. Soon Molly realizes that many people have secrets, secrets they want to keep, even if it means killing again.

"Killer Heels" is an excellent first book in what looks to be a fun series. Molly is a great heroine, both spunky and resourceful. Her best friends, Cassady and Tricia, are also likable. I'm not a "Sex and the City" fan and was a bit wary about reading a book with constant references to designer clothes and shoes, but they didn't bother me at all, in fact they added to the fun tone of the book. There's plenty of humor as well as suspense in the book. The mystery is well plotted with some red herrings along the way to keep a reader guessing who the murderer is.

This is a nice humorous mystery and I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Too much fun to fret over flaws

"Killer Heels" is a fun read with an interesting protagonist. It is a mystery with
laugh-out-loud humor, substantially different from Donald Westlake, Simon Brett,
Aaron Elkins, and Tamar Myers, all blenders of serious crime and comedy. The mystery
portion is not as good as the story. The second murder requires a fanatical
belief in the incompetence of cops, and the clue that provides the "aha" would get
the killer a starring role with Jay Leno's stupid criminals. Even with those flaws,
I've already started the next book in the series. Almost all the reviewers with names
that allow a gender guess seem to be female. This old man enjoyed the book a lot.

All Molly Forrester wants is to find that one big story that can redirect her journalism career away from the sex/relationship advice column she writes for Zeitgeist magazine ("wedged somewhere between Marie Claire and Cosmo") and back to the serious news business. But she didn't expect to trip over it, especially when "it" turned out to be the bloody body of one of her coworkers, and she certainly didn't expect to ruin her brand new Jimmy Choos over it. Never mind, though--she knows that solving the murder of one of the magazine world's most notorious lady's men will solve all her problems, including assauging her guilt for blowing a month's salary on a pair of shoes ruined in one night. All Molly needs is a little help from her girlfriends, and perhaps a few detecting lessons from that cute homicide detective.... Or is he cozying up because he thinks she's a killer?

Sheryl Anderson delivers this totally charming, wildly clever, and puzzling debut about murder - and sex - in the Big Apple. What her characters find, is that, compared to negotiating Manhattan's singles scene, solving one eensy teensy stabbing shouldn't be that big a deal, right?
