Review: Death on Heels by Eileen Byerrum

*** Congratulations to Wendy for winning this book! ***



When fashion reporter Lacey Smithsonian moved to Washington, D.C., from rugged, small town Sagebrush, Colorado, she thought she’d never look back. But when her former boyfriend, cattle rancher Cole Tucker, is arrested for the murders of three women, Lacey digs her cowboy boots out of her closet and hops on the next plane.

She is certain of Tucker’s innocence, until he abducts her during a daring courthouse escape. Is Tucker capable of murder, too? Or is there a larger conspiracy in the small town? Lacey needs to rustle up all the help she can get for this case before her old flame is snuffed out for good..


Please note this is the eighth book featuring Lacey Smithsonian.

This is a fun book! I wish I had heard of this series before but will now have to go back and read the other books. The character of Lacey is a firecracker and when you put her back in the vicinity of ex-flame, Cole Tucker, the spark ignites. (Hot cowboy...I'm completely in for this ride!) Throw in a jealous boyfriend, a scene stealing sister, a book full of quirky characters, and a thrilling mystery, mix it all together, and this book is a hit!
