Tapped Out

[Lesa Holstine]

Natalie M. Roberts makes it dangerous to be a dance instructor in her Jenny T. Partridge Dance Mysteries. Jenny went from escaping from psycho dance moms in Tutu Deadly, to facing mad bombers in the latest book, Tapped Out.

Jenny's question? "Who would maim an innocent pink Volkswagen Bug? What kind of monster? The kind that wouldn't think twice about hunting a thirty-something, eccentric redheaded dance teacher." Jenny doesn't make a great living as a dance instructor and studio owner, so she grabs at the opportunity to teach for a couple days when Hollywood Star Makers comes to Ogden, Utah. She and the owner, Bill Flanagan, used to dance together, so it's a favor for a friend, as well as a chance to earn extra money.

But Jenny's life is always high drama. If it isn't a Mormon missionary running away to be a dance instructor, it's a snowplow running her down in her parking lot. When she receives death threats, and other dance instructors disappear, even homicide detective Tate Wilson has to take her seriously.

Once again, Roberts combines romance, humor and fast-paced suspense in the drama that is Jenny T. Partridge's life. Tapped Out is a rigorous workout for Jenny, with high impact for her fans.
