Death of A Dancing Queen

“A page-turning PI mystery with depth and heart.”“An absolute must read!”“I can’t wait to dive into Billie’s next case.”“With whip-smart prose, and a plot that will keep you guessing, you won’t set the book down until the very shocking and satisfying end!”“A knockout.”“a noir lover’s dream!”“A thoroughly modern, socially conscious new private investigator for the twenty-first century, “” I couldn’t get enough of this slick, sharp thriller.”“Readers will want to see more of Billie.”“A gripping mystery novel,””…A fun, fast-paced mystery… a spunky take on hard-boiled detective drama.”“Giarratano capably keeps a plethora of balls in the air in the suspect- drenched, tangled plot, but the real draw here is Billie, her family, and the sundry, offbeat characters in their orbit—all fully fleshed and filled with infectious spirit.”“What a joy to keep readerly company with Billie Levine, the newly-minted (and somewhat reluctant) private detective who takes her bow in Death of a Dancing Queen.””[Billie] displays some true grit and some impressive detective chops along the way;”
