"solid serial killer romance"
Two years have passed since the car accident that took the
lives of her husband and four-year-old son, but free lance
photographer Sara Martin still grieves. When the phone
calls begin, her friend Bess Haskins pushes Sara to talk
with her husband Tony, an Austin police detective for
advice. Sara reluctantly does, but Tony misses the
appointment. His partner Eric D'Angelo takes time from the
Sinatra serial killer case he works to provide her with
practical tips. Surprising both Eric and Sara, they feel an immediate
attraction to one another as neither has found any recent
interest in the opposite sex until now. However, the
Sinatra case intersects with Sara as the killer, over the
phone, begins describing the grisly scenes to her in some
sort of macho boasting manner. If he did not love her,
Eric would wonder if Sara was helping the murderer, but
because he does he concludes that she is the ultimate
target, but who is this Sinatra fan? Though serial killer romance tales have been in over
abundance of late, this novel is a refreshing entry due to
the Sinatra angle. The story line is loaded with action
that turns quite frenzied when Eric realizes that his
beloved is in danger. The lead couple is a charming pair
and his partner and her friend add depth to the stars. Dee
Davis furbishes a strong police procedural romance and
readers will enjoy DANCING IN THE DARK (but keep the lights
on -- it's hard to read in the dark). Harriet Klausner
