Review

A young woman unsure about her impending marriage decides to treat herself to one last fling and heads down to the Caribbean, only to find herself immersed in sex, drugs and murder. A sizzling romantic thriller. --as seen in The New York Times Book Review

This titillating premise for a romance/adventure novel plus the author s narrative ability to grab hold of you from page one makes this novel one you ll want to pass on to your friends. --Loraine Page, editor, Ravenhouse Press

The Devil s Dance is a cleverly-crafted romantic suspense thriller that reminds you of the best of those great Hitchcock films in fact it reads like a Hollywood movie. A brilliant, fast-paced, stylish read. --Janette Owens, author of Man With a Vengeance

5.0 out of 5 stars A riveting romantic thriller, November 4, 2007

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Devil's Dance (Paperback)

A riveting romantic thriller, "The Devil's Dance" by novelist Patti Ann Bengen is the story of Marissa Harrington who's decision not to marry her deceitful fiancee and subsequent trip down to the Caribbean for a little R&R finds herself abruptly plunged into a world of drug deals, conspiracies, tripple crosses, and even murder. It seems a little unfair that she just may have finally discovered 'Mr. Right' but not live long enough to know for certain. A superbly crafted suspense novel of almost unrelenting action, "The Devil's Dance" is exceptionally well written from beginning to end. Very highly recommended reading, Attention Hollywood -- "The Devil's Dance" is the stuff from which block-buster movies are made!

This book was FABULOUS! I am an avid mystery reader (up to 2 books a week) and I've got to say that Danger in the Tulip Fields is one of my all time favorites. Not only was the story itself compelling, but I found I became very wrapped up in what was happening in the area in which the story took place and wondered how much of that REALLY happens there. I highly recommend this book to everybody who likes the mysteries. I loved Devil's Dance even MORE. Devil's Dance grabbed me by my emotions and I could feel the fear, the pain, the happiness and the doubts that the characters all experienced.

Whoah! Hold on to your seat! This is a most impressive book. I have read all of Patti Ann Bengen's books and after reading this one, I can say, I am a believer! You can't read a better story line than this one. I love romance, adventure, strong female characters, and travel to foreign lands, and this book captures your imagination so vividly that I had to assure myself that this wasn't actually happening to me during my three day reading of The Devil's Dance. The ending was so hopeful for those of us who never want to see a great romance end. Now I'm wondering about Marissa's future, as if she were a real person that I read about in the news.
I can't wait to read Ms. Bengen's next novel!
