Review – Pointe and Shoot

I was attracted to this book not because I was asked if I would read it in exchange for  an honest review, but because of the title. As a former dancer and someone who enjoys reading mysteries, the title intrigued me and definitely had my attention.

The story did not disappoint me. Jayne has returned home and put her dreams of a career as a cop, in order to help her Mom. Her mother who owns a prominent and very respected dance studio, has ears well  as  someone to help run the dance studio. They have both suffered a great deal of losses and the latest is the accident (or was it) of their beloved young dance teacher, Melissa. Jayne suspects there is more to the accident than what it seems , but her 2 cop brothers discourage her since she is known as one always looking for some ulterior motives.

In comes Danny, a cop and childhood friend of her deceased brother. He has feelings for Jayne and is open to her speculations. All making it a good mystery.

All that put aside, I have to commend Ms Stone for her compassionate and insightful approach of having a dear beloved one suffering from Alzheimer. Thank you for the way you handled a tough subject.

So, if you enjoy a good mystery, sit back and join Jayne in her whodunit  suspicions.
