Publisher Description
Waltz, tango, foxtrot…murder?
Not much has changed about Selena’s fussy, finicky, magical talking cat, Archie. Except now, instead of roaming Globe’s streets and alleys on four feet. he’s kicking up two very human heels at a ballroom dance competition with his fiancée, Victoria.
Selena couldn’t be happier for her formerly furry friend. Stepping Stars could be the gateway to Archie’s unfulfilled dreams. But when a competitor is found dead in Archie's costume trunk — sporting some very strange wounds — the future he’s longed for is threatened…because witnesses saw him claws-out with the victim just hours earlier.
Though the evidence is flimsy at best, Selena goes straight to her divination tools to look for clues. Her Tarot cards and pendulum seem to point nowhere, but she’s sure of one thing. Her instincts never lie — and the killer could be using glitz, glamour, and bright lights to cover his tracks.
Customer Reviews
There was one little problem
This review is of Ballroom Bits, book 9 in Christine Pope’s Hedgewitch for Hire series.
I received an ARC copy and this review is my honest opinion.
I have to admit that this was not one of my favorites. Oh, I loved reading about the characters and their relationships. And the plot was interesting. But the police and judge in the town where the first murder happened were idiots! Their number one suspect who was handed over for trial kind of had a motive. And the trunk where the body was found was his. But that’s it! No bloody clothes or trail or any hint of an idea where the murder and subsequent events happened. I know some police and there is no way any of them would have arrested the suspect. There just isn’t any proof. And that’s what bothered me about this book. Sometimes I’m just too literal!
But the rest of the book was great and it was fascinating learning about dancing competitions. And you may not have a problem with the idiot police. You really need to read it yourself and makeup your own mind! I hope you like it. And you should read some of the author’s other book. There are multiple gems out there!
