Murder in Second Position: An On Pointe Mystery: 2

Praise for the On Pointe Mystery SeriesRobbins an ex-ballet dancer and author of Lesson Plan for Murder deploys her tartly witty prose to offer a delicious well-observed sendup of the ballet world... Readers will root for Leah as she sleuths her way through the troupes comic excesses.A graceful mystery that pirouettes around a cast of entertaining narcissists. - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)The mystery component is just as lively as the dance company descriptions and the performances themselves. Robbins brings all to life with a style that performs deftly and artistically and this will attract both dance-oriented readers and those with little experience with the world of ballet. The result is an engrossing murder mystery that operates on many different levels to bring readers on a rollicking ride through death achievement and ballet politics alike as a murderous rampage threatens more than one life. - D. Donovan Senior ReviewerMidwest Book ReviewBallerina Leah Siderova belongs onstage. Not in an interrogation room at Manhattans Twentieth Precinct. And yet for the second time in less than a year thats where she has a starring role. It wasnt her fault someone murdered the autocratic new director of American Ballet Company. And it wasnt her job to find the killer.Leah is determined to stay as far away as possible from the murder investigation. After all if she were going to kill someone it would have been the woman whos been relentlessly trolling her on social media. And thats where things get complicated. Because when dancers say ballet can be murder they dont mean it literally.Most of the time.
