"High Heels and Holidays" is a fun mystery to read for the holidays or any time you would like to read it. Kasey Michaels' holiday book is part of a series. In the series Maggie is a romance author. In one way she is different from other romance authors. Her main character or hero, Saint Just, discovers his way out of the book and into Maggie's apartment. Isn't that amazing? I would love to have him as a guest because he's very handsome, strong and intelligent. Oddly, he carries himself very well in our modern world. Along with Saint Just comes Sterling, his name explains his character. He's a lot like Saint Just's valet. He's always available when needed.
In "High Heels and Holidays authors are being murdered. Francis Oakes is the first body to be found. His death appears like a suicide, but is it really fowl play? Near the bodies are found a poem and a box of something really gross. There are three letters in the name of the horrible whatchamacallit. I expected nightmares after reading about it. The good news is I didn't experience one nightmare. Probably, because the novel is so laughable and full of Christmas my brain compartment marked fear could not crank out a nightmare. Hurrah for that small blessing.
Well, I'm left with one wish. I would love to snap my fingers to make a "real" St. Just walk out of a novel and into my life. I know. It only happens to Maggie. Therefore, I intend to read the first book in the series along with all the other books with Maggie. My one hope is that Faith, a friend or acquaintance of Maggie's, will not show up with her treadmill, pup, clothes, etc. Surely, Kasey Michaels would not put Maggie through that miserable experience again. Good book.
