Pretty Girls Dancing
From the Publisher First position. Second position. Plié. Darkness. With every pirouette, we come closer to the killer. In Kylie Brant’s taut thriller Pretty Girls Dancing , Whitney DeVries is dancing for her life, and yet I couldn’t help but mime the familiar ballet positions. That’s the power of good writing. But these aren’t the ballet classes of my youth—in this class, the girls don’t live to see their recital. Whitney DeVries isn’t the first girl forced to don black ballet slippers and a pink skirt for her would-be killer. While Kelsey Willard’s body was never found, her disappearance seven years ago exposes her family’s still unhealed wounds. It’s up to Bureau of Criminal Investigation agent Mark Foster to dig deeper to find the truth, even as the neighbors hesitate to reveal much and the Willards keep changing their story. With each pointed step, we see more secrets hiding under the surface. And with every musical beat, I anxiously read as the mystery unraveled like the ribbons on those ballet shoes. Pretty Girls Dancing kept me engrossed until the very end. - Jessica Tribble, Editor About the Author Kylie Brant is the author of nearly forty novels and is a three-time RITA Award nominee, a four-time RT Award finalist, a two-time Daphne du Maurier Award winner, and a 2008 Romantic Times Career Achievement Award winner (as well as a two-time nominee).
