Awesome Book...

I didn't think I'd find a Dee Davis book better then After Twilight but Dancing In The Dark is going to be really hard to beat. I can usually figure out the killer/mystery in books pretty quickly but I didn't have a clue in this book. Everybody appears to be a suspect so it really drew me in & I honestly didn't have a clue until right before the cops figured it out. I will admit that a time or 2 it seemed a little to graphic but that was the story line & it played in great. The romance & people in this book are just awesome. I highly recommend this book.

A Fast Thrilling Read!!!

At the urging of her best friend, Bess Haskins, wife of Tony Haskins, she goes to see Tony at the station and to see if he can help. Who she meets is Eric instead of Tony.

Her husband and son were killed in a car accident over two years ago and she's refused to date anyone since then. Her friends have tried hard to set her up with nice guys but she was never interested until the accidental meeting with Eric.As the relationship between Eric and Sara starts to grow, the Sinatra case turns a new page. The last victim, Lydia Wallace, was the young woman with whom Sara has been working on an article. Then, another victim is found dead in her home. This time, a social worker, not a prostitute and the killer takes her hair. Then, Sara gets another midnight "silent" call but this time, there is music in the background, the Sinatra music ......Dancing in the Dark is a well-plotted and well-balanced tale of romance and suspense.

The hero and heroine are perfect for each other, and their romance is both sweet and passionate. However, finding the Sinatra killer is quite a challenge, with little tips and bits provided in the tale. Readers will surely find Dancing in the Dark most satisfying and thrilling from start till end.

Awesome book

The perp was dubbed the Sinatra Killer. He object raped his victims, stabbed them, took a trophy, and left them to bleed out. At each crime scene a boom box was left with Frank Sinatra singing romantic songs to a corpse. Sara Martin had no idea her silent phone caller was the perp. Her friends talked her into going to the police to ask for advice. It was there that Sara met sexy Detective Eric D'Angelo. The attraction was instantaneous, but Sara was not yet ready for a relationship. Eric knew Sara would be special to someone, someday. But he shocked himself when he heard himself ask her out. They would take it slow. Eric and his partner were on the Sinatra case. As the bodies piled up, connections from the killer to Sara began forming. Eric vowed to protect Sara with his life! ***** OMG! This story is so enthralling that I read it within six hours, never once putting it down for anything! Some characters from previous books were thrown in, (casual third party references) and that made the characters even more real to me - the reader. The story is so good that it deserves a special word to describe it. I decided on "Unputdownable!" I have no doubt you will agree. Highly recommended! ***** ...
