The beginning of the ballet goes off beautifully and the audience is appropriately awed, but suddenly the main attraction had disappeared. he is found later hanging from some ropes high up back stage. You can describe the rats warren of a multistory back stage to me a million times and I will never quite get a picture of what they are talking about. I always envision a ship's deck with spars, ropes, hooks and pulleys all over the place.
Thus the story unfolds. Did the dancer crack yet again, or did a jealous rival or doting wife do him in? Inspector Anthony Torrent of the NYPD needs Toni's help to understand the nuances of the behind the scenes life at a ballet theater. Toni enjoys helping him out because she has a good eye for detail and she loves the excitement of the hunt. She also has a roving eye that has lit on a handsome wealthy tomcat of a man who is on his third marriage and who is also looking for a new fancy. This is one part of the story that disappoints because it shows that Toni's judgement is lacking.
The story has an intricate finale much like any ballet and well worth the read. I am sorry the series is so short. There is a beautiful Rue Morgue edition that Goodreads doesn't show so don't judge by the no picture icon.… (més)
