This Christmas, former dancer Lindy Haggerty leaves
her toe shoes behind to hit the glitzy International
Ballroom Competition in Atlantic City, where it takes
two to tango-but only one to kill...
Lindy and company barely have time to unpack before
the backbiting begins. Dawn Gilpatrick, owner of a
famous dance studio, clues Lindy in to the politics and
gossip behind the scenes. Seems a rival studio owned by
her ex-husband/ dance partner is trying to steal one of
Dawn's top teachers, resulting in a lawsuit for breach
of contract by Dawn. If that's not enough, her top
couple-Shane Corbett and Katya Andrejewsky-are about to
break up, courtesy of Shane, and unbeknownst to Katya.
Lindy's head is spinning more than the dancers are.
Scandals and catfights are threatening to upstage the
competition. Shane and Katya's sudden disappearance is
the last straw for Dawn-professionally and financially.
And just when things couldn't possibly get any worse, a
body is discovered, washed up under the boardwalk.
Now, it's up to Lindy to take the lead in solving a
Christmas mystery…before anyone else dances with death.
Reviews
"Readers hearts will go out to the beleaguered
heroine as she works to find the killer, struggles to
understand her husband's actions and wonders whether to
do what her heart dictates her to do with Bill. A MERRY
LITTLE MURDER is a whimsically charming amateur sleuth
mystery filled with falls trails and red herrings."

"Ms. Freydont has a real winner with this series.
She has created terrific characters and always sets the
book in an interesting setting. I enjoyed the ballroom
competition as the backdrop in this book. I learned a
lot about the competition. All I'd ever known before was
what I'd seen on TV. This gave me a lot of background to
the competitions.
I like the way Lindy and Bill begin to work
together at times during this murder investigation.
There are plenty of twists and turns and Lindy puts
herself and others in danger more than once.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book and this series."
