Publisher Description
A gripping, nail-biting thriller...
Makedde Vanderwall, part-time model and forensic psychology student always attracts the wrong type of man. When she travels to Sydney on assignment and finds her best friend murdered, she soon discovers a deadly puzzle of suspicious photographers, hired thugs, mysterious lovers and the handsome, jaded Detective Andy Flynn investigating the Stiletto Murders - the most violent serial killings Australia has ever known. In her quest to uncover the truth behind her best friend's murder, Mak falls headlong into a deadly game of cat and mouse, unaware she has become the obsession of a sadistic psychopath. When a photo from her portfolio disappears, her borrowed flat is ransacked and Andy Flynn suddenly goes underground, Mak knows she must run. But where can she go and to whom can she turn? Mak has scratched the seedy underbelly of a foreign city and is driven into a corner, an evil place where, for her own well-being and state of mind, she must suspect everyone and everything... the first book in the Mak Vanderwall series, FEtISH is followed by SPLIt, COVEt, HIt, SIREN and ASSASSIN.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Australian author Moss makes her U.S. debut with a steamy fast-paced romantic thriller, set in the not so glamorous world of international, middle-income fashion modeling. Struggling Canadian model Makedde Vanderwall has come to Sydney, Australia, to visit her friend and fellow model Catherine Gerber. But Catherine doesn't answer her phone, and soon Mak stumbles on her friend's mutilated body. A serial killer known as the "Stiletto Murderer" next targets Mak, who spends the rest of the novel trying to help solve Catherine's murder while avoiding her own. Moss, a former model, writes fluidly, carefully laying out the pieces of the puzzle as she builds to the twist ending. When the strong and independent Mak becomes so smitten with the handsome detective assigned to the case that she allows her heart to rule her mind and jeopardize the investigation, some readers may cavil. Still, this marks the arrival of a bold new female voice for American crime-fiction fans.

Great story. Kept me guessing. The end could’ve been a little better

I have so much to do today .... But here I am, all left undone because I couldn't put the book down .... Brilliant writing!
No mystery
I got this as a free download a few years ago as my first iBook and after running out of hard copy novels gave it a go. First few chapters were OK but then I started fast forwarding looking for a true whodunnit situation. Only got half way in and then just skimmed and saved my time. I know the author has had some success with this and following novels but this is more like a cheap tv screenplay than a good read. Agatha can rest safely here.
