I always enjoy the historical fiction centered around NYC landmarks from this author. Unlike her others, this one centers less on the actual building but more on who occupied the building--the NYC Rockettes. The combination of mystery, a little romance, NYC details, criminal profiling, and dance made for a great story based on actual events. Fortunately, the author's note was included in the audiobook, as she always gives interesting details about her inspiration and research.
