The Show must go on ... Even if it kills me!

I'm a complete novice, yet somehow I'm performing at the dance school's annual show.

Luckily, my partner, Rufus, has enough rhythm for both of us — until a 'fall' down the stairs puts him out of action.

Rufus insists he was pushed. Now, between fumbling the foxtrot and tripping over my tango, I'm determined to find his attacker.

But as the Big Night approaches, the tempo accelerates. Dancers are vanishing, and I find our Leading Lady unconscious and left for dead.

Amongst the glitz and sequins, a killer is hiding in the wings. Can I stay nimble enough to catch them, or will the final curtain fall on me?

The Last Tango At Merangs is one of a series of culinary cozy mysteries. The Merang Mysteries collection is set in small-town Buttersley in Yorkshire, England, and features amateur sleuth Helen Merang and her cast of quirky friends. Each book leads to the next, but can also be read as a standalone. Written in British English with a few sweary words, mild profanity and peril.
