"This one will have you on the edge of your chair!"

Dee Davis writes the most deliciously spine tingling romantic suspense and I devour each and every one of her exciting books. They are all one sitting reads for me and rightly so since I'm on the edge of my chair reading each of them!

Finding the third prostitute murdered after having been raped by one of her most prized possessions, and Frank Sinatra music playing on a cheap boom box, Detectives Eric D'Angelo and Tony Haskins believe they are dealing with a serial killer. So now they just have to try to put all the pieces of the puzzle together so they can figure out just who and what they are dealing with.

Sara Martin has been getting very strange phone calls in the middle of the night. Whoever calls her doesn't say anything so she just hangs up on them. Sometimes when she picks the phone back up, they are still there. Her friend Bess wants her to report it to her husband Detective Tony Haskins but when Sara goes to the police station Tony isn't there. She talks to his partner Eric who notices she has a certain vulnerability about her so he decides to try to help her.

As more women are murdered and Sara and Eric become closer, things somehow don't seem to be adding up. Can they figure out what's going on before it's too late?

Every time I thought I figured out exactly who the villain was, Dee Davis would throw me a curve ball. I was totally fooled as to who the murderer actually was until nearly the last chapter! I highly recommend this one!

Dancing in the Dark...a melody for murder

Summary

She was hiding from the future.

Now she'll do anything to live until tomorrow.

Two years after the accidental death of her husband and son, Sara Martin is still wearing her wedding band, using it as a shield against a future without love. Then a persistent prank caller shatters her fragile peace of mind and brings detective Eric D'Angelo into her life. Eric reminds her of the passion she never thought she'd feel again—and the idea of surrendering to it scares her. But Sara will soon discover that she never knew the meaning of the word fear... until now.

Even for a seasoned detective like Eric D'Angelo, the rash of murders haunting the city of Austin seems unbelievably grisly. Still, he's worked enough of these cases to know that eventually even a murderer as meticulous as the Sinatra Killer will make a mistake. Then Sara becomes the madman's target. Between fighting off the ghosts in her past and the monster in her present, Eric is forced to wonder if their hopes of a future together will ever see the light of day...
