Cement Stilettos

2017 | Mystery

Leave the cannoli. Take the shoes!

When newly engaged amateur sleuth Samantha Kidd discovers the body of a mafia princess dead in fiancé and shoe designer Nick Taylor's showroom, her questions are so numerous she'd need a bookie to keep track. The victim's ties to local organized crime are unexpected, and her professional ties to Nick put his business at risk.

Nick's apparent vow of silence makes Samantha question the vows in their future, and despite past promises, all bets are off. If ever she were to ignore his advice to stay out of it, this is the time. Wise guys and leopard ladies keep her busier than a consigliere during tax season, and if she can't keep her head above water, she'll end up sleeping with the fishes.

Can Samantha's offer to help outweigh the offers Nick supposedly can't refuse?

Cement Stilettos is the seventh installment in the Samantha Kidd mystery series. If you like mafia mayhem, surprising secrets, and a makeover to end all makeovers, then you’ll love Diane Vallere’s hilarious mystery.

A Case Samantha Can’t Refuse
It’s been a week since Samantha Kidd said yes to marring Nick Taylor, and the two are enjoying their newly engaged status. They crash back down to earth, however, after Samantha finds a dead body in Nick’s showroom. The victim is Nick’s assistant. Samantha wants to help Nick, so she begins to investigate, but as she does so, she begins to learn some surprising things about her finace. Even if Samantha can solve the case, will their relationship survive?

Nick doesn’t typically get a lot of page time in the series, so I was happy to see that change here. I feel like we got to know him better, and I enjoyed watching both Samantha and their relationship grow as the book progressed. The mystery was strong with several great twists. I did feel like a few of the details didn’t quite work, but the ending was still completely logical. Even though Samantha is maturing, there is still plenty of humor as the case unfolds. Series fans will find much to enjoy here, and those new to the series will be glad they gave Samantha a chance.
