This is my first book written by Fiona Davis. It definitely won’t be my last.
Marion is a young dancer in 1950s NYC. Her father wants her to be the stereotypical wife, mother, and homemaker. Marion wants so much more out of life. She wants to make her own decisions. Against her father, she auditions to become a Rockette. We follow Marion as she finds her own way in life. During this time she also finds herself mixed in with the investigation of a bomber who has been attacking various locations throughout NYC over the last 16 years.
I loved the mystery, the hints of romance, and the coming of age aspects of the plot. I will definitely be picking up more books by this author.
