Synopsis

Erin and Darcy, answering personal ads as research for a TV show, discover a whole new New York sub-culture - adulterers, con men, the shy and frankly weird, all looking for love. And one man looking for something darker ...A serial killer who has just got away with murder for fifteen years, and has promised himself just two more ...



My Thoughts

I think the word focus for this book, Loves Music, Loves to Dance, is CREEPY!

Mom and I were recently discussing this. 

Mom said, “I don’t like this book. It’s CREEPY”

Best friends, Erin Kelley, jewelry designer, and Darcy Scot, decorator,  move to the city for their careers, and Darcy talks Erin into helping a friend, research for a TV documentary on the kind of people who place and answer personal ads.  

Then Erin comes up missing and her body is found in an abandoned pier in Manhattan. One foot has her normal shoe and the other a dancing slipper - high heeled at that. 

If you ask me this book dances around a bit with a slew of characters at the beginning and before long readers are aware that there's a serial murderer. 

It's not my favorite MHC read, but  I'll agree with Mom and call it CREEPY.
