Book Review

Late last year I read a book called "Dead on the Dance Floor" by Heather Graham. It's a romance/murder mystery novel. It's about this accomplished dancer Lara Trudeau who literaly drops dead while performing in a competition of what appears to a heart attack brought on by an overdose of booze and pills. But Miami cop Doug O'Casey suspects it was murder. He talks his brother Quinn, who used to a private investigator, to go undercover to see what's going on.
Quinn dicovers everyone at Lara's dance studio "Moonlight Sonata" had more than hated Lara and anyone there may or may not have had a reason to see her gone. According to them Lara may have been a talented dancer but she was ruthless and didn't give a damm about anyone but herself.
He soon discovers a string of deaths do to overdoses in Miami. All of them women and when the owner of the dance studio becomes a target Quinn must protect her at all costs.
What I loved about the book was you were never sure who the killer really was. Graham throws in some twists along the way and just when you think you have it all figured out another twist comes around. I won't give away the ending but I will say this. The killer is one you won't suspect.
