The Case of the Stained Stilettos Melissa — J.L. Smith

When legendary Hollywood actress Dana Montgomery throws a party, murder is on the menu.



Combine Dana's husband, actor and womanizer Blaine Jeffries, her son, Mark Lathem, Mark's fiancée, Mark's ex-girlfriend, her current fiancé, the District Attorney, the Chief of Police, two homicide detectives, some Hollywood hotshots, and a butler with a backstory.



Add Mercy Wilde, the couture-wearing, stiletto-sporting private investigator, her husband, suave Beverly Hills attorney Joseph Luce, and her mother, award-winning actress Francesca Wilde.



Mix in a couple of inappropriate crushes, a few fragile egos, an addiction or two, and a cast of Hollywood's "beautiful people."



What possibly could go wrong? Plenty, of course. It's Hollywood!



Join Luce and Wilde as they investigate murder in Tinseltown. The Case of The Stained Stilettos is the first in the Luce and Wilde Hollywood Mystery Series.
