Synopses & Reviews
Some things are best left buried... But old secrets have a habit of washing up.
It's springtime in northern Michigan, and all is picture-perfect--until part-time journalist and struggling mystery writer Emily Kincaid gets a visit from her crabby, foul-weather-friend Deputy Dolly. Frantically demanding help, Dolly says that receding waters at Sandy Lake have revealed a bullet-pierced skull, and a keepsake that could mean serious trouble for a man Dolly once loved.
When another skeleton surfaces, Emily finds herself wading through Dolly's painful past, digging into Leetsville's darker history, and dodging threats from an outraged Odawa Indian--who may be protecting more than just sacred land. Emily and Dolly are dead-set on solving the crime, even if it costs broken hearts ...or their lives.
Praise for Dead Dancing Women:
Every woman who's ever struggled with saying no, fitting in, and balancing independence against loneliness will adore first-timer Emily... --Kirkus
