Dead Man Waltzing

Bad form...

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.

They still enjoy spectating at ballroom dance competitions and live in Colorado with their children and pets.
