Dancehall [Paperback]

Bernard F. Conners (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 2001

On June 4, 1982, the body of a young woman surfaced from 300 feet of water in Lake Placid, New York. Because of the depth and intense cold of the water, the body, which was determined by medical examiners to have been submerged for over twenty years, was remarkably well-preserved. At the time, the authorities were unable to establish the identity of the woman but concluded that her death had been violent.

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.
