DEAD WOMAN'S SHOES introduces reluctant sleuth Lexy Lomax, who can only be described as an 'inadvertent' detective. 

Lexy Lomax has run away from her obnoxious husband, taking with her a cool half million of his ill-gotten gains and her mother-in-law's homicidal chihuahua, Kinky.  

Holed up in a decrepit log cabin on the Suffolk coast, Lexy finds herself  mistaken for the previous owner of the cabin, a private investigator, now deceased.

Before she knows it she’s embroiled in a cocktail of marital infidelity, missing cats, and poison pen letters. In fact, it seems that every other person in the nearby prissy village of Clopwolde-on-Sea needs a private eye.

Then a local policeman with a shadowy past develops an inconvenient interest in Lexy, and when she finds the wife of one of her clients unexpectedly dead in a remote field, matters take an awkward turn...

*Book of the Week - what a delightful read! Dead Woman’s Shoes by Kaye C. Hill is a mystery with a lot of suspense and great characters ...there are twists and turns, capers – many threads woven into a completely captivating tale.   This one would have easily made my top 2008 list had I not already turned it in.  Guess it’ll just have to push over into 2009.

*Crisp prose and a plot laced with animal tomfoolery will keep readers amused and eager for a sequel - US Publishers Weekly

*HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...a delightful romp with an admirable pair of protagonists, a human with a mysterious past and a chihuahua with an attitude who, happily, remains doggish throughout the book -  I Love a Mystery Newsletter
