A pair of famous shoes goes missing...oh no! That's sacrilege ! As far as Temple goes, a woman who collects shoes like others collect matchbook covers. In the mean time a male hunk contestant turns up drop dead instead of drop dead gorgeous and she has to figure out what the heck is going on. Fortunately she has the help of a four footed private eye in Midnight Louie, the coolest cat in Sin city!
I am enjoying this series. I like the main characters, but I am getting a little annoyed at the assumption that pre-marital sex is normal and impossible not to resist. And, that those that do are somehow suffering some mental problems.
I'm also wondering how many more books I can read in this series before they are more explicit in that area. I've been enjoying the fact that the language and sex is not extreme. But I'm still reading the books that were written in the 80's and 90's. Wondering if t...more

I found this one a little disappointing. I liked Temple Barr, the main character, but it was quite confusing. The story switches back and forth between the characters viewpoints. The plot was a little confusing too. It seemed like there was just too much stuff packed into the plot. Also, they refer to stuff that happened in previous books a lot, and I was kind of lost.

In this installment in the series, more focus is on the actual crime and crime solving then on Temple's lovelife...although there were some interesting tidbits thrown in. :) I am really enjoying this series now and will continue to read them all. :)
Just not my style of favorite book. TOO LONG, too much dialogue. I'm sure if you enjoy this kind of thing, it would be delightful.
