Ella Barrick waltzes right into your heart with this lively
murder mystery surrounding the shocking murder of ballroom
dancing queen, Corinne Blakely. Corinne was a ballroom
dancing legend. And anyone without two left feet not only
knew her, but adored her. When Corinne suddenly dies of a
heart attack during a dinner date, the dancing community is
stunned. But Corinne's dancing friends are even more stunned
when it is discovered that Corinne's heart attack was
induced by a powerful drug.
Stacy Graysin has had her shares of encounters with the law,
especially since she helped the police apprehend the person
who murdered her ex-boyfriend, Rafe. As much as Stacy wants
to leave the detective work to the police, she is forced to
dust off her sleuthing skills when her dance teacher
associate, Maurice Goldberg, is arrested for Corinne's
murder. Stacy is confident that she can discover what really
happened to Corinne, but when she looks into Corinne's
private life and past, she discovers a plethora of possible
suspects and a motive which ties them all together.
DEAD MAN WALTZING is pure entertainment. I loved how Ella
Barrick took the time to create intricate back stories for
each suspect. As the readers sift through the clues along
with Stacy, the compelling stories of the suspects will
prove more entertaining than you bargained for. Barrick's
writing is charming and impressive. The author of Quick Step
to Murder is quickly dancing her way to the top of mystery
genre. This is a waltz you'll definitely not to sit out.
When Corinne Blakely, a grande
dame of international ballroom dancing, is poisoned, the
dance community—including champion dancer Stacy Graysin—is
left in an uproar. Corinne was penning a tell-all memoir,
but now her secrets might well remain hidden, just as the
killer perhaps intended.
The victim’s dance card was
full of people who might have wanted her silenced, if not
dead. But when Maurice, a ballroom instructor at Stacy’s
dance studio Graysin Motion, becomes the prime suspect, she
has no choice but to waltz in and take the lead in another
murder investigation.
Clearing Maurice’s name by
finding the real killer is going to be harder than a running
spin turn. But there’s one thing Stacy knows for sure—she’s
not about to let the murderer dance away scot-free.
