Jenny T. Partridge is a dance instructor living on the
edge. The tuition her students pay is barely enough to keep
her studio afloat. She relies on her annual production of
the "Nutcracker" to keep her students coming, but now that
production is in danger. One of the mamas has been murdered
and her lead dancer is missing.
Detective Tate Wilson arrives on the scene; a gorgeous dark-
haired, blue-eyed hunk with a deadly smile. He doesn't want
to list Jenny as a suspect, but her fingerprints are all
over the murder weapon, as well as a gallon of fundraiser
cookie dough, and her motive spurs from a violent and
public argument between the two women several days earlier.
Jenny is the prime suspect and someone wants to keep it
that way.
This is a Murphy's Law run amuck mystery and includes a
chase by a Hemi, a couple of bombs and some very strange
people. The heroine is fresh and a bit uncontrollable, the
hero is a winner, and the growing relationship between them
is fired by the conflict between what we should do and what
we want to do that is present in all of us. Roberts leaves
you with that one thing every good author should generate --
a desire for more. (PS: I really hope she keeps Wilson
around for a very long time.)
A cozy new mystery series that's about to make its dazzling
debut performance.
