This was a great Christmas time read to switch up from all the romances. All Marion wants to be is a Rockette, while an unknown bomber in NYC is out to get revenge on her dad’s company. I really enjoy Fiona Davis and her way of mixing fact and fiction. She always does a great job at sucking you into the setting and this one is no exception. I really enjoyed It

The 1950s NYC setting and Rockette illustrated experience were fantastic. With all that and a serial bomber on the loose (based on a true story), what’s not to love?

I picked this book up on a whim from my library’s new books bookshelf. I have to say it’s one of the best books I’ve read in a long time! Loosely based on a true historical event, it details the journey of Marion separating from her family and following her dancing dream. There were little twists throughout that kept me reading. It did not end like I thought It would. I really recommend if you’re into historical fiction with mystery and twists!
