Shoes to Die For

Freelance writer Jaine Austen is a sarcastic, sometime-sleuth who's never met a carb she didn't like...or a mystery she couldn't solve. Jaine's elastic-waist pants and T-shirts make her a fashion nightmare, according to her neighbor, Lance. She doesn't expect Lance - who works in the designer shoe department at Nieman Marcus - to understand, which is how she ends up visiting his favorite boutique. While the couture is definitely not for Jaine, the staff's gossip is. Tiny Becky starts complaining about her co-worker Giselle, a brittle blonde who makes fun of customers behind their backs and adds extra-marital notches to her Chanel belt. Though Jaine doesn't land a new look, she does land a new job when the owner gives her a chance to write their new magazine ads. But when Jaine arrives the next morning to pitch her ideas, she finds Giselle stabbed in the neck by one of her own stilettos. Now all Jaine has to do is figure out who hated Giselle the most...
