The Dancing Girls by M.M. Chouinard

5.0

Synopsis:

Jeanine Hammond is murdered and posed in a ballerina position. Her wedding band is missing, but nothing else. Detective Jo Fournier is on the case and found many of the patterns ritualistic. Digging through old cold cases with her co-workers, she finds terrifying patterns indicating a serial killer is on the loose. However, no one will listen to her concerns, not her bosses or the FBI. Jo continues to investigate even though it may mean the end of her career. Will Jo uncover the truth in this case? Is there a serial killer on the loose? Will Jo track the murderer down?

My Opinion:

The Dancing Girls was a very engaging read. The transition between Detective Jo's point of view, the Murders point of view, and the victim's point of view were impressive. Each chapter was meticulous while describing the details of events, imagery of the scenes, and the steps Detective Jo was taking to advance in her search for the serial killer. The conclusion of The Dancing Girls held a very nice surprise and spin that most would probably not expect. I highly recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys reading crime. This book was book one of the series. I can not wait to read book two.

Detective Jo Fournier is a Series of Crime Thrillers. The series are as follows:
The Dancing Girls
Taken To The Grave
Her Daughter's Cry
The Other Mother's
Her Silent Prayer
What They Saw
