This review is from: Dancehall (Mass Market Paperback)

I really enjoyed the book. This book got me hooked into mysteries. The story is very engaging, I couldn't put it down. The story leads you through lots of turns and twists and gets you in the end. Highly enjoyable read!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good and engaging suspense, April 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dancehall (Paperback)

The storyline was very engaging. Extraordinary suspense and very well developed characters. The descriptions of the surroundings and the ambience are probably some of the best I have ever read in mystery books. Uncanny ability to transport the reader to the scene into the plot. My only dissapointment was the end felt rush. With his writing talent, I would had expected a fenomenal psychological and trial courtroom drama ("Pressumed Inoccent" type). I am looking forward to read more of Mr. Conners's work. Definitely a great mistery writer.

I bought this book while I was camping in Lake Placid. I have to admit that I was I was intrigued and surprised by the ending. Throughout the entire book I thought one character murdered the young girl and it was not until the end that it all came together. Good pacing and definately worth your time.
