About this listen
Behind the sequins and the sparkles, the competition is about to turn deadly . . .
‘I loved it! I’m quite convinced I’ve danced with Lily Richmond, and if anyone can solve a few crimes she can …’ ANTON DU BEKE
When a promising young dancer collapses during the opening tango of a major competition, Lily Richmond, dance legend, teacher and one-time world champion, is convinced that murder is afoot.
There’s only one person who can help Lily solve the mystery: her former student, now turned private detective, Susie Cooper. But Susie vowed she’d never return to the ballroom …
As the competition gets fiercer and the bodies pile up, Susie will be forced to go undercover in Blackpool and come face to face with a man she thought she’d left behind. Can Lily and Susie unravel the rumours from the rumbas and expose the murderer’s identity before they strike again?
Sex, lies and ballroom dancing. Murder on the Dance Floor is a backstage pass to a world where the most ambitious will stop at nothing to win.
?? Two amateur detectives on the case
? One second chance romance
? Sex, lies and backstabbing
??? And a whole lot of deadly ambition…
If you like your crime deadly and your romance spicy, look no further

Insights into the world of dance
I couldn’t put the “book”down - had to go right through to the end. So enjoyed the insights into the intrigue of the dance world, I’m really looking forward to the next Shirley Ballas murder mystery!

nice plot, shame about pace
liked the idea. was expecting a faster paced
Cha cha cha rather than the Duh duh duh.
I love Shirley as a dancer and a judge but sadly, won't be rushing to her next book.

A sparkling tango through the ballroom
I really enjoyed this pacy tale of murder on the dance floor. Great characters, very naughty antics. The descriptions of the dances transported me into the ballroom. The narrator really shaped the characters and I could hear the author’s voice echoing throughout the book.
I was kept guessing who ‘dunnit’ until the last few chapters! Can’t wait for the next one from Shirley. It’s a 10 from me!

Lovely story beautifully crafted
Well crafted, maybe a little too much on the technical aspects of each dance. Highly recommend.
