'Linda Fairstein's Death Dance is her most powerful and affecting novel yet. Fairstein really knows what she's writing about, and that includes New York's theatrical world.' James Patterson 'Linda Fairstein is an important writer because she tells it like it is.' Michael Connelly 'A tour de force. Shivers not only the bones but the marrow.' Frances Fyfield 'Linda Fairstein's Death Dance is her most powerful and affecting novel yet. Fairstein really knows what she's writing about, and that includes New York's theatrical world.'

I'd have to agree with some of the negative comments from other readers, this was not Fairstein at her best. The plot is weak and does focus on the ballet world which is not something that can hold a plot!! It rambles on and I nearly gave up at one point, then it ended and I wished I had given up.
She can do sooo much better than this - she's proved it before!

The novel starts with two girls having been drugged and than sexually assaulted, which acts as a parrallel plot line. The main crux of the story is about a prima ballerina goes missing and is later found dead, and the subsequent investigation that takes place.
This is the first Linda Fairstein novel I have read, although apparently it is the eighth book to feature the character Alexandra Cooper or 'Coop'. It's Ok, easy to read and would pass a few hours on the beach, but don't expect something that will set the world on fire!

Death Dance
Linda Fairstein does it again! She is mistress of the American murder mystery, and her characters feel like old friends.

Disappointing
As someone who goes to the theatre and likes crime novels, I was really disappointed with this book. It never gets out of neutral, with poor characters and cumbersome storytelling. Read more

Ballet Awful
Death Dance is a rubbish title, isn't it? Corny. Melodramatic. Just rubbish. The content is equally dire. A Death Dance with two left feet. Read more

First of all I don't understand this book cover design. Not attractive at all. I must say that I had to wait a long time for this book. Alexandra Cooper is a good character. Read more
