Dead On The Dance Floor
7 journalers for this copy...
From Publishers Weekly
At the Moonlight Sonata Dance Studio in Miami Beach, coaching for professional competitions is available, as is recreational dance instruction. When Lara Trudeau, imperious star professional, drops dead after a performance, authorities, citing a lethal combination of pills and alcohol, deem the death accidental. But patrolman Doug O'Casey, a new dance student and Lara's most recent lover, suspects foul play, as do some associates, including the studio manager, Shannon Mackay. Doug finally persuades his brother Quinn, a private investigator, to sign up for dance lessons so he can look into the case. Meanwhile, in the vicinity of the dance studio, several seemingly unrelated murders occur. Quinn begins to fall in love with his dance instructor, Shannon, although she could be the murderer he seeksâ€"for that matter, so could his brother. When Shannon gets a cryptic message, "You're next!" she's determined to find the killer herself; her efforts put her in harm's way. The story isn't all suspicions and chills: readers can learn something about salsa, tango and waltz contests, and there's a touching bit about a homeless girl who's a natural dancer and finds a home. Graham's more suggestible fans will doubtless put on their dancing shoes and head for the nearest Arthur Murray studio.

This is another favorite author of mine. The story did not disappoint me. Graham kept the plot line tight with plenty of action and a romantic interest.

Journal Entry 3 by loveamystery from Vancouver, British Columbia Canada on Sunday, September 9, 2007
This book reached me last week and I just now remembered that I had not journalled it. Thank you for sending it to me. It looks good. And thanks for the bookmark as well.
Sent to Minerva101 as a RABCK. Enjoy!
Thank you so much for the RABCK's, loveamystery!!
I am happily adding this to my TBR pile. You are very generous and I hope to reciprocate one day and surprize you :)

Sadly this book has languished on my bookshelf for a very long time, and with my job requiring so much reading, I don't feel that this will make it to the top of my TBR. I am taking it to the Calgary Bookcrossing meeting to find a reader who enjoys mysteries and who has more time to devote to recreational reading.
A murder mystery. My style!
Thanks loriped for the book. I have done dance and just love it so this was great fun for me. I wish I could dance more...and much better....
The mystery was good and kept me guessing.

I am taking this book to our monthly bookcrossers meet up at Cravings - the second Saturday of every month- to pass on to the next reader.
Brought this back from the November meetup at Cravings Restaurant.
Good mystery and loved imagining the dances in my head. Fun read that caught me up and had me pondering who did it. Nice change after making it through a challenging book.
Sending this with my daughter for a North Side pick up.
As I clean for Christmas I'm trying to make sure I have journaled all the bookcrossing books in my living room. I have so many stacks!
Put in the Book Box!

Calgary has an active group of BookCrossers that meet to swap books and discuss book crossing every second Saturday of the month at 11am at Cravings Market on Fairmount Drive SE. We always love to meet new crossers, so please join us any time you like!

Pulled out of Book Box 1. I am excited to read this one, adding to my TBR pile
