Book Reviews of Death Dance (Alex Cooper, Bk 8)

Death Dance is Linda Fairstein's eighth Alex Cooper novel. The backdrop of this novel is the Broadway stage's dancers and actors. When a ballet dancer is killed, it is hard for Alex and her partners to tell who is a killer and who is just acting.

A great book to add to the series.

Linda Fairstein at her best, This time she investigates the disappearance of a world famous dancer from backstage at Lincoln Center's Metropolitian Opera House--during a preformance.

It was ok not a bad book. Took me awhile to read it. Seemed to drone on and on. It had it's "fast paced" moments.
I haven't read but one other of hers so not the best one to review her writings.

Very good.

As usual, a good read from this author.

NYPD cops Chapman and Mercer come to New York Assistant DA Alexandra (Alex) Cooper, wanting her help in the investigation of the disappearance of ballet dancer Natalya Galinova, who went missing during a Lincoln Center performance. The cops, long time associates of Alex's, believe she can help because not only is she a dancer too, but because she's been to too many performances at the Center to count. They want her inside take on the ballet scene, plus she knows the Lincoln Center inside out, so her aide on the case would be invaluable.
The case of the missing ballerina is no locked room mystery. The Lincoln Center is a huge place, with zillions of performers, craftsmen, artisans and various other employees as possible suspects. Plus, there is the audience to consider. Alex and her cop pals really have their job cut out for them.
How Alex gets from point A to point B and the subsequent letters in the alphabet when she works on a case is why readers come to Linda Fairstein really knows her stuff, knows her characters, knows how to put the reader right in the story. If you're into cop talk, cop procedure or just want to see how it's really done, well this book is for you. Not only is it a first rate novel, but you'll get a bit of an education here. It's kind of scary how good Fairstein is. Check out this book, you'll see.

The book was not bad as far as a mystery novel went. There were plenty of twists and turns to keep me entertained. The history behind the theater buildings and some of the people was interesting, but I was hoping for more - not enough to annoy someone not in the business but enough to give those of us who are proof that she did more than historical research

Another wonderful mystery in this series.

SINCE THE BEING VERY MISTERIOUS, SEVERAL CASES TO RESOLVE. I WILL KEEP YOU INTERESTED ALL THE TIME AT THE END, WELL YOU WILL SEE.

Another exiting mystery by Linda Fairstein with Alex, Mercer and Mike.
