2.0 out of 5 stars Not at her best, 9 Oct 2006
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!

3.0 out of 5 stars Passes a few hours, 6 Dec 2006
By Snapdragon (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
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!

2.0 out of 5 stars Ballet Awful, 29 Dec 2007
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. And a book I persevered with only to wind up wondering why I bothered.

The plot is all over the place. The characters are a complete yawn. It's hard to find anything good to say about it. Infact, there is nothing good to say about it.

I was a third of the way in before I realised that this was the second novel I'd read by this author and featured characters I should have already been familiar with but, clearly, had found forgettable. Not much of a recommendation, is it?

Patricia Cornwell is quoted within - praising Linda Fairstein as author extraordinaire. Given Cornwell's habit for writing turgid yarns, it can hardly be considered a compliment.
