You'll stay up all night reading it and then have a hard time sleeping. A man was shunned as a teenager by a girl who loved to dance and then becomes a serial killer. A personal ad that says loves music, loves to dance is a draw for his victims. A young woman named Darcy investigates the personals and why people do them, pulling her into the range of this murderer. This book alerted me to this author a number of years ago and have read most of her books since then. Being a 'thriller' book lover, this was a book that kept me enthralled. A page turner...thoroughly engaging....splendid suspenseful fiction according to the New York Times Book Review. The protagonist is Nona Roberts, a producer of a tv network who decides to do a show on answering personal ads. She asks a lot of people she knows to answer the ads and then let her know the results. Two of these people are Erin Kelley and Darcy Scott. They answer some of the same ads. After answering an ad one evening and going on a date with a supposed Charles North, Erin does not come home. Her body is later found at a pier. Yuck. no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
After college, best friends Erin Kelley and Darcy Scott move to the city to pursue exciting careers; Erin is a promising jewelry designer, Darcy finds success as a decorator. On a lark, Darcy persuades Erin to help their TV producer friend research the kinds of people who place personal ads. It seems like innocent fun...until Erin disappears.
Erin's body is found on an abandoned Manhattan pier -- on one foot is her own shoe, on the other, a high-heeled dancing slipper. Soon after, startling communiques from the killer reveal that Erin is not the first victim of this "dancing shoe murderer." And, if the killer has his way, she won't be his last. Next on his death list is Darcy.
