Product Description

Review
** '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 ** 'Fairstein was a prosecutor and it shows in the convincing detail of investigations an interrogations. She's excellent at portraying the relationships between Alex and the cops with whom she works.' THE TIMES

Product Description
Once again Linda Fairstein uses her experience as Manhattan's leading DA to create a tantalyzing web of intrigue, betrayal and murder. Teaming up with longtime friends and colleagues, Mike Chapman and Mercer Wallace, Alex Cooper investigates the disappearance of a world-famous dancer, who has vanished from the Metropolitan Opera House. Drawn behind the scenes of New York's theatrical community, the team is haunted by ghosts of the dramatic old theatres - and from their own pasts. At the same time, Alex and Mercer are trying to collar a doctor who's been using his extensive knowledge of and access to drugs to overpower women before assualting them. A spell-binding thriller combining the unique history of New York with fresh insight into the latest forensic techniques.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not at her best, 9 Oct 2006
This review is from: Death Dance (Hardcover)
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.
